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).

> 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.
