How is it possible, in an open source application, that they are the only ones in the world that know how to encrypt codeto run in that particular way?

I Just discovered this Zend pagethat has some programs that can do the same thing, and are suprisingly free. I'm going to try them out later today and see what happens. I'll post the results here.- Works with any install of PHP past 4.x
- Requires no additional software to run on the server
- Requires no changes to the webserver or default PHP installation
- Both obfuscates AND encrypts PHP files
- Protects your intellectual property and the security of your applications
- Allows you to distribute time limited scripts for shareware purposes
- Allows you to distribute IP limited scripts that will only run on the IP you specify when encoding
How it works
POBS works by replacing User-defined functionnames, variables and constants with a MD5 key of 8 characters. It really removes information that humans would like to have but computers don't care about. It's not ideal but quite a good option in my idea.
