Maxim Solodovnik commented on RAT-472:
--------------------------------------

Hello [~pottlinger], [~claude],

I'm perfectly fine with adding ASF 2.0 to exclude list :))

But I would like to add some clarifications according to what is going on now 
:)))

ASF 2.0 license at https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt being 
detected by {{rat-plugin}} because it has *{{APPENDIX:}}* ;)

ASF license located in OpenMeetings sources doesn't have the APPENDIX :)))

This appendix is labeled:
{code}
   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
{code}

So, I would say, the license itself is not being recognized :)))

> ASF license reported as non-compliant
