In a nutshell, there aren't any changes to be expected - if anything we'll probably be able to invest more into developing the engine in the future. We're not going to change the license. Note that there's also a grant to the PHP project that allows the use & distribution of the Zend Engine under the PHP license when it's bundled with PHP - so PHP is protected no matter what happens. > ps: just noticed that http://www.zend.com/license/2_00.txt is a 404 even > thought that is linked from php-src/Zend/* and from the wikipedia page on > the Zend Engine License. Fixed - thanks! Zeev
