Adding licences automatically?
Is it within the scope of RAT to optionally add licence headers
automatically to documents that don't yet have them?
If so, I may implement such a feature at some point in the near future
using the relicensing scripts, available here in the ASF, as a starting
point.

this will be forthcoming. I'll move it over to the new package
structure. Might not get time for a week or so though, it's a bit busy
rounf here next week.

Yes, the initial idea would be to do a reporting run, this would
indicate the number of files under a non-Apache licence. Those that are
OK would need to be added to an exclude list.
Then do a re-licence run in which those not in the exclude list are
re-licenced.

OK, well I have about 2000 files that need relicensing and a little
"play time", so rather than just run the scripts against the code I'll
have a bash at bringing the functionality into RAT as described above.

perhaps that's the point: use RAT to detect those with different
licenses

You should consider that some files that currently does not have a ASF
header are that way because they use a different license and are
indeed correct.
