----------------------------------

             Summary: RAT failures for metron-interface/metron-alerts
                 Key: METRON-1163
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1163
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.4.1
            Reporter: Matt Foley
            Assignee: RaghuMitra
            Priority: Blocker


When the maven-rat-plugin runs against metron-alerts component, it has:
```
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.rat:apache-rat-plugin:0.12:check (default) on project metron-alerts: Too many files with unapproved license: 2 See RAT report in: .../metron-interface/metron-alerts/target/rat.txt
```

In the report file it says:
Files with unapproved licenses:
*  .../metron-interface/metron-alerts/dist/3rdpartylicenses.txt
*  .../metron-interface/metron-alerts/dist/styles.a0b6b99c10d9a13dc67e.bundle.css

The file "3rdpartylicenses.txt" is an empty (0-length) file.  Should it be?

The styles.a0b6b99c10d9a13dc67e.bundle.css file is a complex file referencing
 *  Font Awesome 4.7.0 by @davegandy - http://fontawesome.io - @fontawesome
 *  License - http://fontawesome.io/license (Font: SIL OFL 1.1, CSS: MIT License)

which in turn says:
* all CSS files License: MIT License (Apache Category A)
* Font License: SIL OFL 1.1 (Apache Category B)
* Documentation License: CC BY 3.0 (Apache Category B)

Both of these files are downloaded during build (they're not in the Metron repository), but we're still responsible for the licensing.  Suggestions for passing RAT test?  If the suggestion is to exclude these files, please provide justification.
