Philipp Ottlinger resolved RAT-206.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Fix Version/s: (was: 0.12)
Following the discussions on legal-discuss@ the problem is that CC-licenses are
not really fitting for source code files.
In order for RAT to verify license compliance you can add the CC-headers
manually and add this CC-license as a default license to your RAT plugin
configuration. Otherwise you may exclude the CC-licensed documentation files
from the RAT.
Therefore I close the ticket as won't fix.
If you need help how to add new licenses have a look at examples:
https://github.com/ottlinger/creadur-rat-examples/tree/master/RAT-179/maven
> Add support for Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 and Creative
> Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 licenses

> Key: RAT-206
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-206
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.11
> Reporter: Pascal Schumacher
> Assignee: Philipp Ottlinger
>
> It would be very nice if support for the "Creative Commons Attribution-Share
> Alike 2.5" and "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0" licenses could
> be added to Rat.
> Background: The documentation of the incubating Groovy Project is licensed
> under "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0" and according to:
> [https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#cc-sa] this is o.k. but, Rat does
> not seem to recognize the license.
