I'm not sure I see your point given the Hibernate License and the fact that
you aren't using any of their source code. But I'll trust that the ASF
probably wants to stay away from any potential can o' worms.

What if Gavin explicitly gave permission for an HQL syntax for OJB? Would
your project be willing to commit the implementation that has been created?
It would be a nice compatibility point.
