If yes, than I would really hate to have to point you at
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/maven-plugins/hibernate/src/main/ org/apache/maven/hibernate/beans/SchemaExportBean.java?annotate=1.7
This would compromise all Maven releases that include the
maven-hibernate-plugin. We distribute Binary and Source from apache.org
sites...
Thanks for bringing this up. I've been meaning to respond to this thread with that in mind. I think we've checked this in the past and because the ASF is not distributing the hibernate code, there wasn't a problem (as you say, hibernate is downloaded from ibiblio when the user chooses to use the hibernate plugin).
So what would the answer of the first question of Oliver ("can I use Hibernate in an ASF project") now be?
still no
If I got it right; Oliver wants to implement a Slide Store that uses
Hibernate as back-end. According to your answer, he could do this as
part of the official Slide distribution, as long as it does not contain
the hibernate.jar itself (which could be downloaded as part of the build
process (maven or ant)).
I agree, that we need a clarification (best would be a legal council backed clarification).
This isn't a clear-cut legal issue, like speeding or stealing. The problem is that the ASF position is that the LGPL is unclear, and the FSF won't clarify in an official way.
