Hibernate is LGPL 2.1.
Here is our public statement

As long as your code is compliant with the LGPL 2.1, you're fine.

Hello,
I already posted this question to a hibernate forum but didn't
receive any answer. That's why I saw no way round posting to this
mailing list.
I'm working on a mapping tool that maps Java objects to RFCs. This
is somewhat similar to mapping Java objects to relational database
tables (though much simpler). I therefore got the idea to use the
hibernate hbm.xml mapping syntax for this Java-to-RFC mapping tool,
because there is no point in re-inventing the wheel and many many
people know hibernate and will therefore quickly feel at home when
using this Java-to-RFC mapping tool if it uses the same mapping XML
syntax as hibernate.
My question is now whether also this hbm.xml mapping syntax is
completely free and may be used for another purpose than hibernate
itself or whether permission has to be granted by the authors of
hibernate. I just want to be really sure before I start, because
changing the mapping syntax in the middle of the race is a lot of
work.
Thanks in advance, Oliver Plohmann
