While the above sentence is true, I personally would read it that the
project does not know if they have dependencies to other Apache
software (so for me if someone says "may" I conclude that he doesn't
know) :) Maybe that's just me not being a native speaker?

It does say that because it is general to catch both cases. Your below sentence only captures the "includes" case, not the "uses" case. However, I don't care what the template is precisely, I just want to simplify it.

What about simplifying the sentence along these lines:
This software was developed at the Apache Software Foundation
(http://www.apache.org) and contains software licensed under
the Apache License 2.0.
