"Best tool for open source projects"

4/5

What do you like best about Apache Rat?

Apache Rat is lightweight, easy to use, and well-integrated into the Apache ecosystem.It can be easily automated within CI/CD pipelines and saves time on manual verification.The configuration is straightforward and effective, allowing for customization based on project needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Rat?

Limited to simpler licensing needs and may not offer full functionality for complex compliance audits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Rat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many open-source projects include files from various sources, which might come with different licensing requirements. Apache Rat automates the process of checking for license headers across all files in a project which reduces the risk of accidental non-compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Apache rat, an adequate solution."

5/5

What do you like best about Apache Rat?

We have been testing Apache Rat in the company. To guarantee that the new technological products that we are developing, have the distribution license, we guarantee the quality with this software. The commands that they offer us are fair and necessary. --addlicense, for example, has allowed us to add a license tag in the header. When generating the reports we use --xml. Apache Rat has provided us with an effective solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Rat?

There's very little I can say against it, it has Apache support. The quality product, however, generally executes some late commands when writing the listening document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Rat:

Implement Apache Rat when it is guaranteed to make its distributions. A while ago in the header, perfect for notariation of products and legal registration with documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Rat solving and how is that benefiting you?

The company has benefited from the Apache Rat project, through the use of commands and classes to audit the products we have developed in the company. It gives us a guarantee to use the proper distribution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
