--------------------------------------------------------------
I think by default the pom element {{licenses}}
(http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Licenses) should be evaluated and only
license headers belonging to those licenses should be approved.

> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Philipp Ottlinger
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently rat searches for ASLed files. In order to broaden the usage of this
> tool I'd like to add a new maven configuration option that allows the
> definition of a target license.
> This license has to exist in RAT and changes the output of the rat report but
> does not change the default behaviour for backwards compatibility.
