>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-179

>
> Users can add new license types using the <licenses> tag.
> These are not added to the approved licenses list.
> This has to be done through the <licenseFamilies> tag.
> However, the entries replace the defaults.
> There does not appear to be any way to update the approved list other than replacing it entirely, which is very inconvenient.
> This could be fixed by adding a new property analagous to addDefaultLicenseMatchers, e.g. addDefaultLicenseFamilies
> Or it might be easier for the user to configure if individual <license> entries could be tagged as approved. The default would need to be false for backwards compatibility.
