> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: antlib, maven

> h2. Bug report
> Users can add new license types using the <licenses> tag.
> h3. Affects: Maven- and ANT plugin
> h4. Maven
> These are not added to the approved licenses list.
> This has to be done through the <licenseFamilies> tag.
> However, the entries replace the defaults.
> There does not appear to be any way to update the approved list other than
> replacing it entirely, which is very inconvenient.
> This could be fixed by adding a new property analagous to
> addDefaultLicenseMatchers, e.g. addDefaultLicenseFamilies
> Or it might be easier for the user to configure if individual <license>
> entries could be tagged as approved. The default would need to be false for
> backwards compatibility.
> h4. Ant
> Same issue for Ant task; <rat:approvedLicense/> configs replace the default
> set.

> h2. Implementation
> h3. Maven
> You can add new approved licenses by setting
> {{licenses}} and {{licenseFamilies}} when configuring the
> apache-rat-maven-plugin.
> Default licenses are approved in addition to any new licenses. If you do not
> want this behaviour set
> {code}
> <addDefaultLicenseMatchers>false</addDefaultLicenseMatchers>
> {code}
> h3. Ant
> Ant seems to have worked in version 0.11 as attached project indicates.
> If you do not want to add the default license matchers, set
> {code}
> addDefaultLicenseMatchers = false
> {code}
