Can I use Hibernate in an Apache project without compromising the
Apache License?
Folks,
I was considering to use Hibernate for persistence in the Slide project.
Now, Hibernate is LGPL, but in http://www.hibernate.org/196.html the
authors explain their idea of dynamic linking as mentioned in the LGPL
text. This looks just fine to me. Additionally, I understand I can even
put the jars into the Slide CVS if I include a reference to the license,
right?
Thanks for any comments in advance,
Oliver

Thanks to all coming the long way to explain to me and being patient.
Bottom line: http://www.hibernate.org/196.html does not mean anything as
"authors (might) change their mind" (Dain) "it's just some web page -
it's not part of the license (LGPL)" (Geir). So there is no way to use
Hibernate or any other LGPL stuff in Jakarta Apache.
