Travis Vitek commented on STDCXX-552:
-------------------------------------
Answer to first question, Instructions for using RAT.
1. download and install java if necessary [http://java.sun.com]
2. download the current RAT jar from http://code.google.com/p/arat/
[rat-0.5.1.jar]
3. from the command line, execute the jar file [java -jar <path-to-rat.jar>
<path-to-source-tree>].
As for the second question, I found the following [from
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html]
What if my project includes its web site within a product distribution?
With few exceptions, all human-readable Apache-developed files that are
included within a distribution must include the header text. Documentation,
including web site documentation distributed with the release, may include the
header text within some form of metadata (such as HTML comments) or as a header
or footer appearing in the visible documentation.
What files in an Apache release do not require a license header?
A file without any degree of creativity in either its literal elements or its
structure is not protected by copyright law; therefore, such a file does not
require a license header. If in doubt about the extent of the file's
creativity, add the license header to the file.
I also found some discussion
[http://www.nabble.com/Rat-tool%2C-Apache-header-and-different-file-types-tf2352902.html#a6553062]
that seems to indicate that the documentation should have the ASL header in
there.

> As Bill says in his post below, we need to run the RAT tool on stdcxx 4.2.0
> before we ask the Incubator PMC for a permission to do a release:
> http://www.mail-archive.com/stdcxx-dev@incubator.apache.org/msg03858.html
> The first step will be to download and set up the tool. In this post Justin
> gives some suggestions:
