Description

Due to the changes introduced in 0.16 projects with custom license definitions do not seem to work anymore as reported by solomax with OpenMeetings:
https://github.com/apache/openmeetings/blob/master/pom.xml#L1393

Verify that the documentation provided in
https://creadur.apache.org/rat/apache-rat-plugin/examples/custom-license.html
is correct and ideally add an example usage to CreadurExamples to prevent future regressions.
