Buildbot <http://ci.apache.org/buildbot.html> can be set up to create RAT reports, even for projects that use other CI options for their actual builds <http://ci.apache.org/projects/>. You can even check in a file containing the names of files that should be skipped because you know it won't and can't contain the license. I wouldn't recommend having a tool add the license automatically, maybe the file simply isn't licensed using the Apache Software License, maybe you'd make it useless if you added the license. Stefan
