Don't use too much time searching - I hereby claim that whichever code
in XFree86 that is covered by this notice, infringes *my* intellectual
property rights. Of course I'm wrong, but I claim it all the same, so
now Debian has to put up a LEGAL page.
Shall I file a bug report against www.debian.org myself?

I think I'll settle for having new xfree86 packages being put on
security.debian.org with a priority "high" debconf splash screen in
its postinst script. :-)

Doable, perhaps. Free, no.
