I completely understand - it's funny, but that's how LZ started out about 10 years ago.
It was always FOSS until last year when I starting doing "pro" versions, but basically, it's the exact same thing (still 99.9% open source) with some extra goodies for larger companies.

Sorry you hate PHP, it's been good to me, hehe.

I had a look at logzilla (among others) before starting on mojology, but
decided to hack something up from scratch instead, for a couple of
reasons:

* I wanted something small, which I can cook up within a few nights.
Digging into a bigger codebase like logzilla would've taken a lot longer
than what I could spare at this time.

* I'm a huge fan of the GPL, and whatever I came up with as a demo, I
wanted to have it out under the that license O:)

* On the way to work one day, I came up with the name mojology, and
liked it so much that I just had to use it.

* There's very few things I hate more than PHP, sorry.

I had a look at the screenshots, and LogZilla looks very cool, but I
think that the purpose of the two tools are a bit different: LogZilla
appears to be an advanced viewer & reporting application, mojology is a
dumb little interface without bells & whistles.

A bit like MySQL and SQLite, if I may say so (except that mojology is
nowhere near the complexity of sqlite :).
