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?
