If we created a plugin API inside Geronimo that someone could implement with Hibernate (outside of Apache) then we could use Hibernate.
Though Apache (currently AFAIK) cannot...
* import any LGPL code * host any LGPL binaries
So I guess we should just focus on OJB for now as a JDO / CMP plugin.

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.

I read in the FAQ From the ASF licenced projects... "OJB or Hibernate for JDO & plugins to the CMP engine"
Hibernate is a LGPL license project ;-(. Can it stilll stay in the usable project ?
