Hi Jan,

Thanks for asking about Apache Rat and ratscan.

The project must do ratscans actively. PMC members need the ratscan output in 
order to review IP License compliance. When you +1 a release this is something 
that PMC members must check. This is more important to get correct than the 
code quality.

IMO - If you are thinking about auto-build with digital signing then the 
ratscan must pass before signed artifacts are generated. It is not required to 
make a nightly build.

For this thread we are only discussing the parts of our svn tree that we 
release. [1]

Best Regards,
Dave

parts of the Symphony contribution that are yet to be moved into active 
development.
