Zend Framework is sponsored by the U.S.-Israeli company, Zend Technologies Ltd., which was cofounded byAndiGutmans andZeev Suraski, the core developers of PHP. Strategic partners of Zend Technologies Ltd. include Adobe, IBM, Google, and Microsoft. The company offers various commercial products; however, Zend Framework is an open source project released under the “corporate friendly”new BSDlicense.
ZF is meant to be simple, component-based, and loosely coupled. This means that it is a library of components, which you can use as you wish, and usage of MVC architecture is optional. This lowers the learning curve and increases its flexibility. The documentation is great, and the source code is of very high quality, both because it's fully object oriented and thoroughly unit-tested. Zend announced an upcoming 2.0 version as well, but its release date is still unknown.
