Why ? Hibernate uses a relaxed version of LGPL saying: "Using Hibernate (by importing Hibernate's public interfaces in your Java code), and extending Hibernate (by subclassing or implemention of an extension interface) is considered by the authors of Hibernate to be dynamic linking. Hence our interpretation of the LGPL is that the use of the unmodified Hibernate source does not affect the license of your application code." (see http://www.hibernate.org/196.html). Hence it is possible to issue code referencing Hibernate classes under the Apache License.
