I'm not sure where PHP stands on this politically. But I believe in Open
Source, which allows you to encode your code. But why? At heart I'm a
purist GNU. Stallman was right when he first tried to fix a faulty printer.
* The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
* The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your
needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
* The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
(freedom 2).
* The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements
to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access
to the source code is a precondition for this.
Thankfully there is little that cannot be reversed engineered. If you
want to keep the recipe, host it yourself and let others use an interface.
This is stepping in a nest of hornets. :p
