Zend Interview
An interview with the developers of Zend. Zend is a scripting engine developed by Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans (hence the name Zend). Both are members of the core development team of PHP, and wrote large portions of PHP 3.0, including the language implementation and some of the popular modules like the MySQL, Sybase and PostgreSQL modules.

That's right. By selling the optimizer for a price they relegate the big majority of users, as they state, to less than perfect speed. It's silly to believe that only big sites may need that. A small site with not state of the art hardware and line speed may need that too. It's sad to see they take that course of action. As you stated, a licensing of the MySQL type would be prefereable. And of course, GPL'ing it would be the way to go. Then they could license it under a different model for commercial software that wants to include the engine.
