Mike,

Teneo was fully reviewed by Janet in
its present form, i.e., with these known dependencies.  It does not
redistribute any GPL/LGPL code; the necessary jar must be downloaded separately
by the client.  Hibernate is a very popular technology, so providing
integration for it has great value, despite the licensing concerns.

Teneo also supports JPA and JDO.  Note that Shaun Smith and Stefan
Eberle (two guys working EclipseLink) were recently added as committers
to Teneo so that the overlap between their EMF persistence work for EclipseLink
and Martin's EMF persistence work for Teneo can be reconciled into more
cohesive overall solution.  There is overlap, but also lots of complementary
things.  It's a great example of how well our community functions.
 (Martin's support for clients on the newsgroup is remarkable!)

Note that  extended capabilities
such as those provided by Teneo are what's helping to make modeling so
popular:

Ed,
 
I’m sending this to you as the project
leader for EMFT. 
 
I stumbled across Teneo
this morning and would like to make you aware of an issue with it that
needs to be resolved. Teneo’s dependence on Hibernate --- which is licensed
under the LGPL --- is a problem, as the LGPL and EPL are incompatible.
Is there not another open source persistence solution (Castor, EclipseLink)
which can be used instead?
