If I understand correctly, you are saying that one can
* purge the Zend Engine from PHP+ZendEngine (which are under the PHP
License)
* take the Zend Engine as distributed by Zend (that is to say, under
the Zend License)
* recreate the collective work PHP+ZendEngine with PHP under the PHP
License and Zend Engine under the Zend License
Is this what you meant?
Is this what the Debian package maintainer is doing?
