The code base for "Menahel" is being used by SAP as a basis for a new SMB oriented product built on top of open source components. I doubt that they will want to release it as OSS, as (a) they can't figure out a business model that does not include total and exclusive control of the software, and (b) - according to one of their developers - the "Menahel" code base is such a huge ugly mess that no one in SAP would want to have their name associated with it. -- Oded ::..
