I did a run earlier today.  Good news is we have 4 files with Apache
license.  Bad news is we have 52,876 files with "unknown" license.  In
most cases that should just be the standard OOo header.

These scans will be much more useful after we've replaced the OOo
headers with Apache headers.  But we can't just do a global change.
We should only make that change for files that are in the official
Oracle SGA.  After that is done, then the RAT report will be more
useful.
