Description
As recently we added Apache Rat in Buildbot, Rat audits software distributions, with a special interest in headers.
Here is the Rat report for ofbiz
https://ci.apache.org/projects/ofbiz/rat-output.html
In this reports there are several files that does not need license header like *.svg etc.
Rat provide a way to exclude files while auditing
http://creadur.apache.org/rat/apache-rat/
It is common to use the Rat with the Maven or Ant plugins and specify a series of files to exclude (such as a README or version control files). If you are using the Rat application instead of a plugin you can specify a series of regex excludes in a file and specify that with the -E option.
We can add .rat-excludes.txt files at ofbiz root for this purpose.
