I think you could just copy the license into a file and distribute it with your software. Or, if you have an "about" page you could display it there.

As you are aware, there is a lot of good, general purpose, code in struts.

I have been taking code and modifying it for my own uses. I thought this
would be worth a 1 minute discussion so I understand the issues. My main
issue is with clause 2. BTW clause three has a spelling error
(acknowlegement is acknowledgement).

Thanks in advance.
