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
