You didn't tell us, how you are using Rat:
. Maven Plugin: Use the excludes and/or includes properties, see
http://creadur.apache.org/rat/apache-rat-plugin/check-mojo.html
- Ant Tasks: The rat-report task uses a standard Ant fileset to specify files
that are being checked. These can contain nested excludes specifications:

In other words: what could be seen as a socially debilitating failure
of character can certainly work to your advantage too. (Linus
Torvalds, but the use in the signature tells something about me as
well.)
