This is the same as with MySQL. MySQL is free under GPL but has no subselects because the companies that has commercial licenses didn't wanted that - Monty has to eat and he codes other features. IMO Zend must exist and this is only possible by selling its products. If the company we work for has the money to buy Zend Accelerator licenses why not do that instead of using other Open Source accelerators. I just want the people from Zend to continue their tremendous work and we will have PHP5 and PHP6 and so on otherwise start learning ASP or JSP.
