there's the parallel path of proposing better language to the Hibernate developers to use in the "exception". For those of you who have recently joined, it was the first message to this list; you can obtain it by sending an email to

and there's a thread that follows in subsequent messages. The issue here was that Hibernate's current 'exception', at
http://www.hibernate.org/196.html
seems too unclear, so we tossed around some ideas for a rewrite. The last draft we came to was:
Any incorporation of Hibernate under or within another application under any other license will not cause the LGPL to apply to that other application. Modifications to Hibernate, however, must fall under the LGPL. Compilation of the other application and Hibernate (together or separately) is not considered a modification.
Henri suggested templating it so that any project X and license L could be used.
Since we've had a raft of new subscribers since the last time I issued a last call for comments, let me do that one more time. Last call for comments?
Been a week, pinging for the next step on this :)
Presuming the lack of comments is considered acceptable, you originally stated that the text above was created by Jason and yourself. Does it need to get in front of Robyn before we can ask the Hibernate guys to display it, or indeed to offer it to them as a legally confirmed replacement for their current text?
Additionally, before we talk to Hibernate, I'd like to know if there are any issues on where the text should be. Currently they put the html file on their website, and include the website in the download. Would we prefer that it be in the same directory as the LGPL?
Should we create a template version and post it on our site before talking to them?
*re-pinging*
Andrew had a question. Niclas had some opinions (I'll leave it up to the ASF members to discuss whether they need to talk about things).
