RAT reports files that are missing Apache License headers. One or two need attention. They are in testcases and I am reluctant to call them blockers.
That's a shame, as I think that missing license headers do generally count as a blocker even on beta releases. Just see general@incubator for many examples of this...
I thought I had added something to the release guide about checking rat to avoid this problem (pretty sure it's bitten me too once...!) It's step 7 in the pre-requisite section of the release-guide.txt, but maybe it wants to be moved somewhere else. FWIW, I know of several projects where the rat check is actually part of the dist step, and the dist will abort if the rat check isn't clean, which helps flag it up nice and early!
