I don't believe there is much IP value in the binaries-list files and I
would not add that huge license header in all of them when they generally have
1-2 lines. The overall project license applies to all the files regardless.
So my solution would be not to add the license header to the binaries-list
files and just add a RAT exclusion filter.---
