@aledsage this appears to be due to Rat's behaviour changing depending on
the value of `System.getProperty("file.encoding")`. See the
`isBinary(InputStream in)` method in [1]. @richardcloudsoft and I debugged this
during review and Richard has added these files as exclusions.
To ensure that it is this, can you try `mvn apache-rat:check
-Dfile.encoding=UTF8`, which should work and `mvn apache-rat:check
-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1` which should fail
Also, as #43 is being reverted, we'll need to wait until #56 is merged
