> I found this discussion thread related to this header audit tool: https://lists.apache.org/thread/mcw0l9g71yzvcftkppnrxspz7skdgglz > > I am familiar with Apache Rat as well and would love to know its limitations. - 1、Limited degree of automation: Apache Rate is mainly based on predefined rules and regular expressions to search for license text, which may not accurately recognize complex or non-standard license statements. - 2、Relying on manual judgment: Rat cannot automatically determine whether a file indeed needs to contain a certain authorization statement, and in some cases, it may need to be manually reviewed and decided based on specific circumstances. - 3、Not supported for all file types: Rat may not be able to parse and check the content of all types of files, especially for some special encoding formats or binary files. - 4、Configuration complexity: For large-scale projects or projects with special authorization requirements, configuring the Rate to adapt to all situations may be complex and require the writing of additional metadata or rule files. - 5、Continuous integration difficulty: When integrating Rat into the CI/CD process, additional work may be required to handle report results and ensure that violations can be detected and fixed in a timely manner. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
