from what i could find out about ionCube in the last five minutes, it compiles the code to some bytecode and encrypts that bytecode. decryption can be done on a licensed machine only.
so i think it will be possible (with more or less efford) to tamper the runtime on a licensed machine to obtain the unencoded bytecode, since all needed crypto stuff has to be there for the normal operation.
decompiling that bytecode back to readable PHP code is a totally different thing … at least all comments will be gone, and since it does compiler optimizations, it’s unlikely to be able to reproduce the same code. probably a great efford.
