Hi Gary, Thank you for the positive feedback :) And I agree with mentioning the library in the NOTICE file. As we do not maintain a THIRD_PARTY_LICENSE file, legally that would be enough AFAIK. However I'm not exactly clear about the role of .rat-ignore file. Is it the configuration file for defining files to be ignored when running the Apache Rat tool?
