FYI - I am checking upstream with the RAT devs to see if we can improve how the tool works. Having RAT scan `docs/` triggers a lot of spurious failures that are tedious to sort out. Because we use the CLI and not the Maven plugin (some [history here][1]), RAT does not automatically look at our `.gitignore` files. And the RAT exclude file patterns are regular expressions and not wildcard expressions, which I find confusing. (I think I am not alone on this point, judging from some of the lines in `.rat-excludes`.) I am following [RAT-323][r1] and [RAT-352][r2] to see if RAT will get some usability improvements for the CLI in the near future.
