Rat exclusions

@geertjanw if it helps you or others I'm ok with this, but I'll stay with
the CLI tools, which also happily work with non-github repositories. Remember:
sourceforge mostly died because they decided that "free project hosting" does
not pay bills and then began to modify projects binaries - if github pulls a
stunt like that, I will just go on and work against the apache hosted
repository.
What is more with the CLI (or other local tools) I can pull from other
sources than github, so if contributers don't like github, but host their
changes in another public git repository (bitbucket, gitlab, ...) we can still
pull their changes.

> Clarify the status of donated files from ApacheNetBeansDonation1.zip

> Key: NETBEANS-54
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-54
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Attachments: JavaApplication9.java, categorized-1.zip,
> convert-headers-1.zip
>
>
> Reviewing the software grant [1] provided with the first NetBeans code
> donation, my understanding is that not all files found in that zip are
> donated.
> The grant indicates that the contents of that file [2] ("Code File") are
> donated "excluding any third-party and separately licensed material contained
> within the Code File".
> I don't think we can consider that code ready to release as is, due to the
> uncertainty that this creates w.r.t to which files are donated and which are
> not.
> The zip archive contains about 45'000 files.
> I see the following options:
> a) Review all files and include only those which are not "third-party and
> separately licensed material". How such files are identified needs to be
> defined and documented, either in scripts under version control or as a set
> of rules. The review process must be documented and traceable, so that we can
> go back to it if problems are found in the future.
> b) Get an updated grant which does not mention such exclusions.
> If someone sees other options please discuss here or on the NetBeans dev
> list, referencing this ticket.
