@potiuk There is one more point that has not been discussed. RAT allows developers to extend the matching algorithms. See https://creadur.apache.org/rat/license_def.html#Matchers The upshot is that 3rd parties can create new matchers and use them in license checks. Matchers are different from license checks in that license checks use matchers. For example the Apache 2.0 license check uses the `text`, `spdx` and `any` matchers. Matchers scan the contents of the file (as a String) looking for matches. This means that a custom matcher would have access to all text from all files that are selected for scanning. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
