The Hibernate team is ecstatic to report that we have successfully relicensed Hibernate ORM under the Apache 2.0 license! As discussed previously, this decision was solely about opening up wider acceptance amongst Apache/Jakarta projects and other places that (for whatever reasons) disallow the LGPL license.
This was a massive effort on the part of many people and took nearly 2 years to complete. We are grateful to all the contributors who explicitly agreed to allow the relicensing of their contributions - thank you!

Release Announcements
As we have continued automating much of our processes, one item that has become increasing more scripted is releases. That automation creates a GitHub release for each release we do.
GitHub exposes an RSS feed for a project’s releases. For Hibernate ORM, that URL is https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/releases.atom [1].
There are many excellent ways to be notified of releases through this RSS feed, including many email clients. And many people already consume these release announcements using RSS from this site.
