Sebb updated RAT-209:
---------------------
Description:
A license header is not usually required for short files that have no creative
content.
For example
{code:title=project.css|borderStyle=solid}
@import url("http://commons.apache.org/style/commons-maven.css";);
{code}
It would be useful to be able to -ignore- skip these when listing which files
don't have headers.
The criteria for ignoring files could be expressed as file size and/or number
of lines. The criteria used should be documented on the RAT report.
Files which don't have headers but which fulfil the criteria could either be
listed at the end of the report in a separate section from the missing headers,
or they could be listed in the main file list with a different category, e.g.
NA.
