   Good call on updating the workflow. Will do. Maybe it's also worth adding a 
note in the .gitignore file that it should not include OS/IDE related files and 
to use the other options instead?
   
   Regarding accidental commits of OS/IDE files, I'd guess that in the majority 
of cases, if not all, those files won't have an Apache license, which means 
they will fail the ratCheck. So that should hopefully catch the cases where 
contributors just do something like ``git add . && git commit``. But still 
something to be aware of for sure, it's definitely possible for these files to 
include licenses that rat won't have a problem with. We also need to keep an 
eye out for .gitignore or ratExcludes changes that include OS/IDE files.
