Hi all, Following on from the additional Rat excludes by jlahoda:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/4 I'd like to propose several others be excluded via Rat, since these are IMHO files "without any degree of creativity" ( https://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html) and thus do not require a license header: - .list files - META-INF/services files - .pass files - binaries-list files The above are all documented here with the question whether they have any degree of creativity: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/NetBeans+Transition+Process They're all simple registration files of one type or another and do not qualify IMHO as having any degree of creativity. Comments? Thanks, Gj
