The Apache RAT team is proud to announce the availability of Apache RAT 0.6.
RAT (Release Audit Tool) is a tool, which is designed to verify the compliance with legal policies. A typical use case would be the presence of license headers in ASF projects. RAT was initially developed as a Google project (see http://code.google.com/p/arat/), but is now incubating as an Apache project: This is the first version using the org.apache package structure and related names. RAT users are strongly encouraged to migrate, as the old Google version will no longer be maintained. Disclaimer: Apache RAT is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. The RAT distribution is available at http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/rat The RAT web site is at http://incubator.apache.org/rat/ The RAT source code repository is at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/rat/main/ For questions, please contact the RAT developers mailing list at rat-dev@incubator.apache.org
