I found the question interesting. The only direct reference to Zend I
could find is related to the Zend Engine, which is copyrighted by Zend
Technologies. While it's the base of the language (from what I
understand, it's the parser that transform PHP code into machine
instructions), it's *not* the same as the language itself. The PHP
codebase is open source though copyrighted by "The PHP Group". The
php.net domain is registered by "PHP Development Team" (with the PHP
creator Rasmus Lerdorf as administrative contact). I don't know where to
research whether "PHP" is a registered trademark or what kind of
organization "The PHP Group" is in legal terms.

My educated guess is that Zend does not own PHP at all but it could
probably kill it if it wanted to.
