I personally have no idea what you'd like to get updated on this page, and the IPMC cannot help you get that updated, only the legal committee can.
I'm assuming that some of your concerns are around bullet #2 "Test data for which the addition of a source header would cause the tests to fail." The problem looking at this statement vs the file actually in source: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/master/diff/test/unit/src/org/netbeans/modules/diff/builtin/provider/DiffTestFile1a.txt It includes a license header "Sun Public License". This line in the document is saying to exclude the header, but you're including a SPL header. Ultimately, at this point you can't remove the header since it's already been declared and was not included in the relicensing of Netbeans to Apache License.
