Binary Encoded elements within a XOOPS Module

Can we release modules that include binary encoded components?


Example:

A XOOPS2 compatible module, with only one PHP script contained within that has been binary encoded, with lets say Zend Encoder. And the rest is Open source GPL'ed code.

I have a module I want to release and am wondering the details on this, so i know which way to go.

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards,

If the binary code can function without the GPL, yes. And, if the encoded code license allows for redistribution like that, and does not force it's license on code that uses it.

Note: this does not go vice versa: if a module depends on GPL code, the GPL forces it's license on the rest of the code.
