We definitely want these files in the top level of any distribution artifacts, to meet the requirements. I also suggest, however, that we ensure they are inside every JAR file we create as well ... that way, when a user downloads Struts and starts using it, and six months later their PHB asks "what are the license terms for that arbitrary JAR file that you grabbed from someplace we don't remember?" the question can easily be answered by looking inside. > -- > Wendy > > Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
