Stefan Bodewig commented on RAT-13:
-----------------------------------
The major usecase of RAT is validating ASF releases and its defaults are
tailored to that.
Stuff licensed under the GPL (any version of it) is not allowed inside ASF
releases. So with the main goal in mind they must not be part of the default
set of approved licenses.
