Description

Apache Rat (release audit tool) runs a number of checks on the project source code required for producing a release.

Rather than wait until release time, it is convenient to run these checks frequently and fail the build if the project moves out of compliance.

This improvement is to (a) fix the existing issues flagged by Rat, and (b) run the checks on subsequent mvn targets.
