Wow, amazing how quickly my last blog entry got results! Since I posted it, it appears that Genuitec have decided to comply with the LGPL and provide their modifications to Hibernate tools in source form:

I don't know why it had to take 1.5 years for them to take this step.
Of course, rather than apologizing for the oversight
, Maher
writes yet another silly and this time dishonest blog,
blaming us for Genuitec's noncompliance. Whatever - I'm sure
some people will believe his version of the story, but
some people will believe anything :-)
We'll take a look at what has been released today, and hopefully this is the end of this sorry episode.
Amazing what a 'lil bit of good old fashioned public shaming could accomplish that 1.5 years worth of friendly private approaches could not.
UPDATE: Ups! Max thinks some stuff is missing from the source bundle. He's digging a bit deeper. We'll keep you up to date on how this news evolves ;-)
