You just need to read through its licensing :).
Project Zero is licensed, not sold. The code available on
projectzero.org is non-warranted and not supported. The license
restricts use to 4 processor cores, does not allow commercial
redistribution, and is provided for use on up to 4 instances per
physical location. Please refer to the license agreement for further
details.
Adhering those terms isn't as easy as it sounds. They're calling it a CDCD
process - community driven commercial development. How that works I don't know
- maybe further down the FAQ.
Also it's written primarily in Java (or Groovy - both end up at a JVM). It
supports PHP as an additional scripting language using a PHP derived runtime
(i.e. a PHP interpreter implemented in Java).
Doesn't sound like they are crossing ZF's bow ;). Will be interesting whether
PZ offers any specific benefits over just using something like the ZF given PHP
in general already has very nifty sets of libraries and classes for supporting
web services. It does sound very much more of a push against SOA where some
sort of heavy-weight corporate support is a definite plus for many folk.

Subject: [fw-general] Project Zero - have anyone heard of it?
Dear all,
IBM has started a project that supports building REST-like services using
dynamic languages like PHP at
https://www.projectzero.org/wiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome
Does IBM do it with some PHP experts support or they just ignore us? I think
Zend Framework (SolarPHP, CakePHP...) should be a good reference for such kind
of project, shouldn't it? I am afraid that they are trying to create another
standard for PHP community
