Nobody is in trouble (unless the hibernate people go after them, which would be a pretty stupid thing to do anyway)
Stupid and counter to what they have publicly stated many times, that their own interpretation of the LGPL is that it is not viral.
For the record: interpretation with which I personally agree.
If I redistribute a jar file that has the exact same MD5 of the one they distribute I am *not* modifying the library, even if my code extends one of their classes.
But the FSF (who doesn't like the LGPL but the cat is out of the bag) does not want to make such a public statement.
