Right now though we require all files to have license headers we do not run the 
check to verify this by default.

It kept dinging me until I turned it on by default in Maven core. Someone 
currently trying to contribute has no idea this is a requirement and is not 
told so because it doesn't run by default. If it's required how about we just 
run all the time everywhere?

I would like to change the POMs so that it always runs. Having to run RAT 
separately is a usability fail. The chances of anyone contributing knowing they 
have to run it are pretty close to zero.

Anyone see a reason not to always run it?

Thanks,

Jason
