Sure.  You'll need to include the text of the license with the  
program's README or documentation, but that's all you really need to  
do.  You can certainly show it to the user during install or at the  
first time they run the program if you like, or have it available via  
some sort of About or License menu item if it has a GUI, but that's  
not required....
