Update license information #71

I just got asked from a user (for version 2.4.0) about the license for the Oracle JDBC libraries.

I have noticed that I have to be more transparent about the included libraries, specifically the Oracle ones.

In previous releases I included the license.txt files for the different libraries in the .war file. This has become more difficult when changing to the new build process using maven/gradle. From the repository, only the .jar files are downloaded and not the license files.

I will have to find a way to add those licenses in a more transparent way. The JasperIntegrationSoftware is a BSD-3 type license, but JasperReports and the included libraries are not. Their license is LGPL and from my understanding they also make sure to include only libraries that the overall product remains LGPL compatible.

But I will have to check that again.
