Description

Based on my experience with RAT in https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/653:

It would be cool if the apache-rat-plugin would just print the list of files with unapproved license to the console via STDOUT, instead of only into the target/rat.txt file - just because such files are typically much harder to get your hands on on a headless CI server than whatever was spewed to STDOUT on build logs.
