Hibernate can be pluggable, but it cannot be redistributed with Geronimo. The licensing for a plugin that plugs Hibernate into Geronimo is a bit harder to judge :)
For example, Maven ships with a plugin for Hibernate. It is licensed under the Apache Software License, and yet taking the current thoughts on LGPL in a low-risk way suggests that this plugin might have to be shipped as LGPL.
