It seems to me that files in java.hints/test/unit/data/ are all "test data
for which the addition of a source header would cause the tests to fail" --
i.e., these do not require a license header (
https://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html).

I think these should be included in the Rat report exclusions.
