I did discuss this at the last roundtable, but personally I don't think this is something: 1. Easy to implement, 2. Aligned with the purpose of the ATR license check, which should be an **independent** check that all the files have a license. Anyway, our goal is **not** to distribute files with an **unknown** license, but to omit the license header on some files and `.rat-excludes` does not fulfill that purpose. Therefore I would rather submit a PR to Creadur RAT to recognize the [REUSE specification](https://reuse.software/spec-3.3/) and in particular the `REUSE.toml` file, which is a way to assign licenses to files that don't carry a license header. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
