It looks like the author of the code has to obtain the permission from his company to assign the copyright of the code to ASF. Unless that happens, the code cannot be incorporated in the core of Cocoon.

Hi all.

Since the long pending patch of the SAP R3 components is bugging me I
wanted to work on it. I'm a bit lost on the included licence,

The licence seems to be OK. What about the part on SAP at the very end?
