I know this has probably been answered a million times, but I can't find it said anywhere in terms that I can understand.

If I use Hibernate (or some other GPL / LGPL) unmodified in my application, and sell my app to the public, do I have to release the code of my app and make my app GPL?

I had always thought that the answer was "no", but someone here at work is insisiting that it's "yes".

Can someone point me to a place that clearly outlines this?

Thanks in advance.

In the case of LGPL, the answer is "no". In the case of GPL, "yes".

Please see our statement about this on the website.
