   Apache Rat is a release audit tool, focused on licenses.
   
   Steps of installation and usage:
   1. git clone https://github.com/apache/rat.git
   2. mvn clean install
   3. java -jar apache-rat-0.9-SNAPSHOT.jar -a <folder>
   
   The command will generate a report like:
   ```

   And it will generate a new file `b.py.new` with the Apache License 2.0 header. If we want to update the file directly, we can use `--force`option.
