Hi, I completely agree with all the comments posted here, this is something that we need to take care internally. I've already added a new rule to our deployment script. To be honest, I skipped the entire Zend_Service_* part of the manual, so I wasn't familiar with these components and because we

I agree; a link in the code is a good compromise. Beyond that, this is a training issue if this is truly relevant to your company, Federico. Otherwise, you can create a deployment script that removes these components. -Matt On Fri, May 9, 2008 8:23 am, Matthew Weier O'Phinney wrote: > Let's be

I don't see why the Zend Framework should. It offers an implementation of a web service API which in no way impacts the licensing of content (since content is NOT distributed with the framework). As usual, if anyone uses a web service to retrieve data it is their responsibility to be aware of that

Federico, I was curious as to how one could legally license a web service (unless it's through an API key that can only be obtained for non-commercial use) as a license does not make much sense for a web services API (a "terms of use" may make sense, not a license). So, I went and looked at the Au
