Hi Daan,

thanks for the inquiry and sorry for the long (holiday-induced) delay ....

Dear RAT/creadur project,

I am trying to use the command line RAT (i.e. java -jar
apache-rat-1.16.1.jar ...) in github actions on a go project. Probably
a lot of irrelevant information. the jist is that exclusion seem
broken. I tried several options from the command line.
```
java -jar apache-rat-0.16.1/apache-rat-0.16.1.jar -d . -e ./CHANGES.md
-e ./go.sum -e ./rat-report.txt -e exception.lst -e
./apache-rat-0.16.1 -e ./vendor > rat-report.txt
java -jar apache-rat-0.16.1/apache-rat-0.16.1.jar -d . -E
exception.lst > rat-report.txt
```
with exception.lst containing all of the files above and tried
.vendor
.vendor/*
.vendor/**

It keeps reporting
```
484 Unknown Licenses
```
which are basically all the files from the exclude list. Am I hitting
a bug or missing how this should work?


Would you be so kind to check with the current 0.17-SNAPSHOT -
as it introduces various changes in making things available among all UIs (Ant, Maven, CLI) it is possible that this solves your problem.

https://creadur.apache.org/rat017/ contains a preview of the 0.17-SNAPSHOT homepage and documentation.

Can you point me to the project/GitHub coordinates of the project you try to configure?

Cheers,
Phil
