Both rat and maven-license-plugin do not completely enforce license
headers; I found many via Checkstyle:

https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/pull/371

Unfortunately I could not configure Checkstyle with anything other than
an absolute path to the license file.  Our multi-module configuration
works properly but not across repositories like jclouds-labs.  Any ideas
on how to make this work or how to properly configure the other two
tools?
