I changed the line as you suggested.

There is now a full license text.

They are just dependencies (defined either in pom.xml or package.json) - do we 
need to add the full license text for every single dependency? This would 
result in a very large LICENSE-binary file, so currently we provide license 
text in the license folder and the copyright notices are present in the 
NOTICE-binary file.

That's mainly for maintenance reasons - we wrote a small tool to extract all 
transitive dependencies use by the backend and UI and distinguish between 
dependencies used by the backend and UI in the file. I added a line to the 
beginning of the file to make this more clear.

Thanks, I fixed that

We'll recheck and include the NOTICES from other Apache projects.

So far, we didn't see any known issues that would need to be mentioned here - 
but we thought it might be better to use the WIP disclaimer than the standard 
disclaimer as it mentions that the (currently empty) list is likely to be 
incomplete - what would you suggest in this case, should we prefer to use the 
other disclaimer instead of the WIP?
