Oops, I didn't see that part of their license page.

Ok, we have to sign this contract.

As far as I understand, that's independent from the copyright header
below, i.e. we could stick with "Copyright Software AG". Correct?

The ASF policy is that everything that a community works on in CVS has to be owned by the ASF. Everything else must be licensed in a legally compatible way but cannot be modified (if not with overwriting it with a newer version, but developped somewhere else)


This means that if you stick your code in CVS with Copyright Software AG, it would be fine since licensed in a compatible way, but we would not be allowed to touch it so the contribution would not be as useful as if it was given copyright to the ASF.
