OJB does not fully implement JDO at this point. OJB does have a JDO implementation that functions as a plugin to Sun's reference implementation of JDO (referred to as JDORI, for "JDO Reference Implementation").
correct!
The JDORI is not licensed for commercial use.
here is the full licence as of today (sorry for its length, but it's worth reading carefully):

All such Licensees must execute appropriate documents with respect to such work consistent with the terms of this License, and acknowledging their work-made-for-hire status or assigning exclusive right to the work product and associated Intellectual Property Rights to You.
3. Requirements and Responsibilities.
3.1. Research Use License. As a condition of exercising the rights granted under Section 2.1 a) above, You agree to comply with the following:
a) Your Contribution to the Community. All Error Corrections and Shared Modifications which You create or contribute to are automatically subject to the licenses granted under Section 2.2 above. You are encouraged to license all of Your other Modifications under Section 2.2 as Shared Modifications, but are not required to do so. You agree to notify Original Contributor of any errors in the Specification.
b) Source Code Availability. You agree to provide all Your Error Corrections to Original Contributor as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, prior to Internal Deployment Use or Commercial Use, if applicable. Original Contributor may, at its discretion, post Source Code for Your Error Corrections and Shared Modifications on the Community Webserver. You may also post Error Corrections and Shared Modifications on a web-server of Your choice; provided, that You must take reasonable precautions to ensure that only Licensees have access to such Error Corrections and Shared Modifications. Such precautions shall include, without limitation, a password protection scheme limited to Licensees and a click-on, download certification of Licensee status required of those attempting to download from the server. An example of an acceptable certification is attached as Attachment A-2.
c) Notices. All Error Corrections and Shared Modifications You create or contribute to must include a file documenting the additions and changes You made and the date of such additions and changes. You must also include the notice set forth in Attachment A-1 in the file header. If it is not possible to put the notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then You must include the notice in a location (such as a relevant directory file), where a recipient would be most likely to look for such a notice.
d) Redistribution.
(i) Source. Covered Code may be distributed in Source Code form only to another Licensee (except for students as provided below). You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Code that alter the rights, requirements, or responsibilities of such Licensee. You may distribute Covered Code to students for use in connection with their course work and research projects undertaken at accredited educational institutions. Such students need not be Licensees, but must be given a copy of the notice set forth in Attachment A-3 and such notice must also be included in a file header or prominent location in the Source Code made available to such students.
(ii) Executable. You may distribute Executable version(s) of Covered Code to Licensees and other third parties only for the purpose of evaluation and comment in connection with Research Use by You and under a license of Your choice, but which limits use of such Executable version(s) of Covered Code only to that purpose. (iii) Modified Class, Interface and Package Naming. In connection with Research Use by You only, You may use Original Contributor's class, interface and package names only to accurately reference or invoke the Source Code files You modify. Original Contributor grants to You a limited license to the extent necessary for such purposes.
(iv) You expressly agree that any distribution, in whole or in part, of Modifications developed by You shall only be done pursuant to the term and conditions of this License.
e) Extensions.
(i) Covered Code. You may not include any Source Code of Community Code in any Extensions;
(ii) Publication. No later than the date on which You first distribute such Extension for Commercial Use, You must publish to the industry, on a non-confidential basis and free of all copyright restrictions with respect to reproduction and use, an accurate and current specification for any Extension. In addition, You must make available an appropriate test suite, pursuant to the same rights as the specification, sufficiently detailed to allow any third party reasonably skilled in the technology to produce implementations of the Extension compatible with the specification. Such test suites must be made available as soon as reasonably practicable but, in no event, later than ninety (90) days after Your first Commercial Use of the Extension. You must use reasonable efforts to promptly clarify and correct the specification and the test suite upon written request by Original Contributor.
(iii) Open. You agree to refrain from enforcing any Intellectual Property Rights You may have covering any interface(s) of Your Extension, which would prevent the implementation of such interface(s) by Original Contributor or any Licensee. This obligation does not prevent You from enforcing any Intellectual Property Right You have that would otherwise be infringed by an implementation of Your Extension.
(iv) Class, Interface and Package Naming. You may not add any packages, or any public or protected classes or interfaces with names that originate or might appear to originate from Original Contributor including, without limitation, package or class names which begin with sun, java, javax, jini, net.jini, com.sun or their equivalents in any subsequent class, interface and/ or package naming convention adopted by Original Contributor. It is specifically suggested that You name any new packages using the Unique Package Naming Convention as described in The Java Language Specification by James Gosling, Bill Joy, and Guy Steele, ISBN 0-201-63451-1, August 1996. Section 7.7 Unique Package Names, on page 125 of this specification which states, in part:
You form a unique package name by first having (or belonging to an organization that has) an Internet domain name, such as sun.com. You then reverse the name, component by component, to obtain, in this example, Com.sun, and use this as a prefix for Your package
names, using a convention developed within Your organization to further administer package names.
3.2. Additional Requirements and Responsibilities. Any additional requirements and responsibilities relating to the Technology are listed in Attachment F (Additional Requirements and Responsibilities), if applicable, and are hereby incorporated into this Section 3.
4. Versions of the License.
4.1. License Versions. Original Contributor may publish revised versions of the License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
4.2. Effect. Once a particular version of Covered Code has been provided under a version of the License, You may always continue to use such Covered Code under the terms of that version of the License. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms of any subsequent version of the License. No one other than Original Contributor has the right to promulgate License versions.

ATTACHMENT E TECHNOLOGY COMPATIBILITY KIT
The following license is effective for the Java Data Objects version 1.0 (JDO 1.0) Technology Compatibility Kit only upon execution of a separate support agreement between You and Original Contributor (subject to an annual fee) as described on the SCSL Webpage. The Technology Compatibility Kit for the Technology specified in Attachment B may be accessed at the Technology Download Site only upon execution of the support agreement.
1. TCK License.
a) Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 1.b below and Section 8.10 of the Research Use license, in addition to the Research Use license, Original Contributor grants to You a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license, to the extent of Original Contributor's Intellectual Property Rights in the TCK (without the right to sublicense), to use the TCK to develop and test Covered Code.
b) TCK Use Restrictions. You are not authorized to create derivative works of the TCK or use the TCK to test any implementation of the Specification that is not Covered Code. You may not publish your test results or make claims of comparative compatibility with respect to other implementations of the Specification. In consideration for the license grant in Section 1.a above you agree not to develop your own tests which are intended to validate conformation with the Specification.
2. Requirements for Determining Compliance.
2.1. Definitions.
a) Added Value means code which:
(i) has a principal purpose which is substantially different from that of the stand-alone Technology;
(ii) represents a significant functional and value enhancement to the Technology;
(iii) operates in conjunction with the Technology; and
(iv) is not marketed as a technology which replaces or substitutes for the Technology.
b) Java Classes means the specific class libraries associated with each Technology defined in Attachment B.
c) Platform Dependent Part means those Original Code and Upgraded Code files of the Technology which are not in a share directory or subdirectory thereof.
d) Shared Part means those Original Code and Upgraded Code files of the Technology which are identified as shared (or words of similar meaning) or which are in any share directory or subdirectory thereof, except those files specifically designated by Original Contributor as modifiable.
e) User's Guide means the users guide for the TCK which Sun makes available to You to provide direction in how to run the TCK and properly interpret the results, as may be revised by Sun from time to time.
2.2. Development Restrictions. Compliant Covered Code:
a) must include Added Value;
b) must fully comply with the Specifications for the Technology specified in Attachment B;
c) must include the Shared Part, complete and unmodified;
d) may not modify the functional behavior of the Java Classes;
e) may not modify, subset or superset the interfaces of the Java Classes;
f) may not subset or superset the Java Classes; and
g) may not modify or extend the required public class or public interface declarations whose names begin with java, javax, jini, net.jini, sun.hotjava, COM.sun or their equivalents in any subsequent naming convention.
2.3. Compatibility Testing. Successful compatibility testing must be completed by You, or at Original Contributor's option, a third party designated by Original Contributor to conduct such tests, in accordance with the User's Guide, and using the TCK for the Technology. You must use the most current version of the applicable TCK available from Original Contributor one hundred twenty (120) days (two hundred forty [240] days in the case of silicon implementations) prior to: (i) Your Internal Deployment Use; and (ii) each release of Compliant Covered Code by You for Commercial Use. In the event that You elect to use a version of Upgraded Code that is newer than that which is required under this Section 2.3, then You agree to pass the version of the TCK that corresponds to such newer version of Upgraded Code.
2.4. Test Results. You agree to provide to Original Contributor or the third party test facility if applicable, Your test results that demonstrate that Covered Code is Compliant Covered Code and that Original Contributor may publish or otherwise distribute such test results. "
Did you carefully read section ATTACHMENT D COMMERCIAL USE LICENSE?
If I understand correct you can ask SUN to grant you a right to use the JDORI in commercially deployed applications!
JDO spec lead just held a presentation at the JAVAONE conference on Using STruts and OJB for professional Web applications
"Applying Open Source Web Technologies Together: Struts and OJB":
http://servlet.java.sun.com/javaone/sf2003/conf/sessions/display-3368.en-81967.jsp
So I thinks it's well worth and ask SUN wether you are allowed to use JDORI + OJB in commercial scenarios. Maybe it's a good idea to approach Craig Russel directly. He is the JDO spec lead and is interested to see a growing user base for JDO to gain momentum for this great technology!
This means that using the OJB plugin, and OJB is fine and great, but using the JDORI is not a real option for a production app.
I'm not sure if this is really true (see above)...
OJB 2.0 is slated to include a full JDO implementation, but this isn't going to happen real soon (OJB is at 1.0rc3 presently, with 1.0 due real-soon-now).
correct!
If you are locked into using JDO, then one of the other implementations you mention will be a better option (imho).
If it's OK to use JDORI + OJB I thinks it will be the best possible Opensource solution currently available.
JDORI is a complete JDO1.0 implementation and OJB is a mature O/R mapping tool.
If you are not locked into JDO specifically, OJB is a rockin' object-relational mapping tool using either the PersistanceBroker API (my personal preference) or the ODMG API.
I agree !
cheers, Thomas

Dear Thomas,
Thanks Thomas for the reply regarding the JDO, after being a member of a list for a whole weekend I can see that there is alot of activity in this area and is hence maturing.
However I am still a little unsure about what the bit you wrote about licensing and commerical usage.
" .......... But there is an issue that you should be aware of. The OJB JDO
implementation is not a standalone solution, but requires the SUN JDO
Reference Implementation as the toplevel implementation.
Unfortunately the license for the JDO RI does not allow to use it in
commercial applications (If I got the licence right, IANAL ;-))
I know there are other OSS JDO projects, like TJDO and XORM. But I don't know much about them...."
Does this mean(you recommend) we shouldnt use the Apache code then ? and we
should use perhaps other projects which do not use the SUN JDO for our
COMMERCIAL project
Looking forward to your reply-
Ben
