You just need to include the Apache License http://apache.org/LICENSE
along with any of your own copyrights, disclaimers, or licensing notices. Or, if you don't do any of that, in a file next to to the JARs. What's going on, is that when you credit yourself, Apache wants to be credited too. Just saying that it is "Powered by Struts" really would not be sufficient, though that is always a welcome touch. Since Struts is open source, and people don't need to register to use it, any advice about who is using it is going to be anecdotal. Besides the many others you will see posted on the list, in the Rochester area I happen to know its being used by firms like Xerox, Kodak, and Paychex. AFAIK, these are all intranet applications, like the one you anticipate I very much doubt that there is another framework with better market penetration that Struts. (Or that will have more books about it ship sometime this year =:0) Something to mention to the suits is that our esteemed leader, Craig McClanahan, was not only the primary architect of Tomcat 4 and the implementation architect of the Java Web Services Developer Pack, but he is now Sun's specification lead for JavaServer Faces (JSR-127) as well as the Web Layer Architect for the J2EE platform. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm pretty comfortable with having Craig on my development team =;O) -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY US -- Java Web Development with Struts -- Tel: +1 585 737-3463 -- Web: http://husted.com/about/services Scott Carlson wrote: > > I'm trying to get a Fortune 125 company to convert from their existing internal > web framework.
