Unfortunately we are still waiting for the draft on 3rd Part Licenses to be made official ASF policy - but in the absence of anything else its probably the best guide to what can be re-distributed in a release here at the ASF: http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html So for example Hibernate is LGPL[1] which falls into "Category X: Excluded Licenses" so I don't believe its possible to do anything here at Apache as it couldn't be released under the Apache License - but perhaps you can do it elsewhere using a license compatible with that. Not sure about Glassfish license as the legal section on their web site is "under construction" - but check their license against the above draft policy is my advice - I suspect the same might apply though.
