again: the *purpose* of a Firewall is to protect from application bugs or unintentional user faults - frankly the early KDE4 setups in 2008 had a ton of 0.0.0.0 listenining high ports, that where indeed a bug and hence a firewall to protect the user against such bugs
it is not a bug that "ZendStudio" is listening on a high UDP port for license verification (only one instance in the same network via broadcasts)
it is intentional by the softwarebut it is not intentional by the user have that open on the WAN or even by default in the LAN, it's intentional by the user to be protected
