             Summary: Improve log message for Rat check
                 Key: RAT-396
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-396
             Project: Apache Rat
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.16.1
            Reporter: Gary D. Gregory


Build Apache Commons components, I currently get messages like:

{noformat}
[INFO] Rat check: Summary over all files. Unapproved: 0, unknown: 0, generated: 
0, approved: 540 licenses.
{noformat}

The part I find misleading is that I don't have 540 licenses, I have 540 files 
with the same license header (well, in different format: .java, .xml, 
.properties, and so on).

If this were just a text change, I would find this more helpful: {{540 files 
with licenses}}.

If this were a feature request, I could see: {{540 files with 1 license type in 
3 formats (Java, XML, Properties)}}
