Hi,
Our source code never imports hibernate Classes but does import spring classes for hibernate. Spring is licensed under Apache. Does this mean our code is derivative work of hibernate(due to indirect linking)?

Hibernate is licensed under LGPL which requires derived binary to be allowed for "reverse engineering": http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-java.html.
We do not want to distribute our unobfuscated code and will not allow end user to reverse engineer our binary. Will we be able to use hibernate in our product?


Thanks,
Hari Sujathan
