This RAT report is mis-representing the state of Forrest.

Sure it is great to have an independent assessment, but ...

Perhaps its "exclude" list could be in the Forrest SVN,
so that other Forrest committers could maintain it.

Good idea, let me think where to put it. Ideally a dir on its
own (or a small dir) that buildbot can watch for commits to it then 
it can update the config automatically.
