perhaps that's the point: use RAT to detect those with different
licenses

Yes, the initial idea would be to do a reporting run, this would indicate the number of files under a non-Apache licence. Those that are OK would need to be added to an exclude list.

Then do a re-licence run in which those not in the exclude list are re-licenced.

 If so, I may implement such a feature at some point in the near future
using the relicensing scripts, available here in the ASF, as a starting
point.

possibly: but feel free to start here

OK, well I have about 2000 files that need relicensing and a little "play time", so rather than just run the scripts against the code I'll have a bash at bringing the functionality into RAT as described above.
