Hi Jeremy, Further to your suggestion, I took this up with RAT dev and was told that RAT at the moment only validates either license text or license URL for some reason. If either of them is valid, it will pass validation. That explains why you did not get a validation error. I have raised a jira RAT-82 for them to tighten up the validation.
