Running tests including things like RAT checks is usually for preparing a
packaging of Spark. If you have `spark-defaults.conf` in there then you are
also running a local Spark cluster or something, which is a different concern?
I don't think these should happen from the same dir.
Conf files and templates are part of the copyrightable content of the
project, so do technically need the same licensing regime, so I don't agree
that `conf/` should be completely skipped. However `spark-defaults.conf` is not
a product of the project. That seems to be the only file at issue. If it exists
it was user created, and could be skipped. But then why is the change here
skipping other stuff? it's not even skipping checks of `spark-defaults.conf`
