Hi Branden,
Please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed.
I'm seding this to the list because I want to have a public record of
this. I have pointed this out several times over the last few years to
you (e.g., bug#107149), and it seems this keeps coming back.
Do this for me, will you?
0. Take the file you have in
http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xfree86/xfree86_4.3.0.orig.tar.gz
1. Extract its contents
$ tar xOzf xfree86_4.3.0.orig.tar.gz | tar xvjf -
2. Run this command
$ find $(find xc -name GL) -type f |
xargs grep http://oss.sgi.com/projects/FreeB |
wc -l
I get a match on 77 files.
An example:
xc/lib/GL/glx/clientattrib.c:

I can't find anything indicating that there's another license that
applies to this file. Furthermore, I can identify a large number of
files _not_ carrying such an statement but which are originally found
in the aforementioned OpenGL Sample Implementation. I'll be delighted
if you can point me to a reliable source stating these files have been
relicensed under the standard XFree86 license.
3. Go read http://oss.sgi.com/projects/FreeB again.
Thanks,
Marcelo
PS: This applies to the 4.2.1 release, too. As a matter of fact it
applies to almost every release after 4.0 even if you claim (c.f.
changelog for 4.2.0-0pre1v2) it doesn't. In particular, it applies
to the tarball contained in the .orig.tar.gz file correspoding to
4.2.1-9.
