Hi, The ASF license checker rat is explicitly configured to not check init.py source files, I’m curious what the motivation for that decision is, can anyone elaborate?

The main reason was is lint.py was in the 3rdparty/dmlc-core folder and is considered as dependency instead.
Hi, Sorry, my question wasn’t very precise, I didn’t properly quote __init__.py in the question, let me try again.
In tests/lint/rat-excludes we have the pattern
__init__.py hence none of the __init__.py files in the source tree are ASF license checked, I wonder if this is deliberate or accidental?
Ah, i saw it was lint.py I think we also need asf license for all init.py headers, so it could be an oversight
