This is a quick check if anybody minds... I've had a few attempts to refactor apache rat code (that checks file licenses) and I have to say my conclusion is that it'd be much simpler to just write a simple, specialized task instead of bringing up rat's machinery. What we need is very simple: * scan source files with some inclusion/exclusions (gradle task/ file collections would handle this), * check if these source files are covered under any of the approved licenses; the list of licenses is very small and they have basic substring-based matchers. * fail if we can't match any of the licenses. That's it really. We don't need any fancy report, aggregation or exotic licenses. Going through ant/xml report parsing is costly and reimplementing the same on top of rat's current API proved to be a headache (for me). I'd rather just implement it as a basic incremental gradle task, with permitted license string matchers embedded inside. If anybody can think of a reason this is a bad idea - please let me know. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
