hehe... I'm lucky - i work for a small company, and as far as management is concerned open-source=free and free=good so through the power of transativity open-source=good and thats as far as any concern goes...
We've built several big apps using struts - all have been intranet applications so none available on the internet (some for the NHS). Not to say we havnt encountered any resistance to open source from our clients - but this is normally directed at linux or tomcat - struts gets off lightly as you can hide it with cunning wording ie use phrases like 'a java library' and not 'based on the struts framework'.
