Struts has used the Jakarta Taglibs implementation of JSTL as a
dependency where there is defintely no license issue:
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-doc/intro.html
Ibiblio and Sun's JSTL jars contain no details of licensing. If you're
going to go ahead with this release IMO you should confirm the
licensing before publishing - if the license is OK and its just not in
the NOTICE file then thats fine. If it turns out the license isn't OK
then you will have been wrong to publish - even if it is only a beta.
Actually those jars are from the Jakarta taglibs project :) - bad news
whoever released them didn't include the license
