[jira] Created: (RAT-7) RAT should distinguish the different AL header versions

RAT should distinguish the different AL header versions
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RAT-7
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-7
             Project: RAT
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sebb


RAT currently does not seem to care which version of the AL header is present.

This is a bit misleading; IMO it should distinguishe between current AL and obsolete AL headers.

[jira] Commented: (RAT-7) RAT should distinguish the different AL header versions

David Crossley commented on RAT-7:
----------------------------------

I agree. See the perl scripts in
https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/relicense/src/perl/
insert_license.pl and update-AL20.pl

It has patterns for each version of Apache License header. There are also some variations in existence. I spent a lot of effort detecting each license type (also detect third-party code that uses the Apache License).
