do we really need that long LICENSE file?

Junit / Jacoco and few others aren't necessary to run POI and only used to build it.

Do utility libraries need to be included in the official LICENSE file?

If we ship them we need to detail them

May we create an additional LICENSE file for development with POI.

I seem to recall that some projects do have different license files for their source and binary releases, to account for the different components at build and run time

The best advice on license files at the ASF can be normally found in the Incubator, as they're always helping new incoming projects get it right. If you can't get a clear answer from reading the stuff at <https://www.apache.org/dev/#licenses> and <https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html> I'd suggest ping'ing general@incubator and asking one of the experts there for a hand!
