X.org licenses

[Andreas Enge]

I started adding license information to the 184 packages in the X11 
distribution, and did not get very far... There is a list of several very 
similar licenses used, see
   http://www.xfree86.org/current/LICENSE5.html

Number 5.11 is referred to as x11 in license.scm; is it okay to use x11 for 
all others as well?

font-adobe-utopia-* has this strange license:

Permission to use, reproduce, display and distribute the listed typefaces
is hereby granted, provided that the Adobe Copyright notice appears in all
whole and partial copies of the software and that the following trademark
symbol and attribution appear in all unmodified copies of the software:
        Copyright (c) 1989 Adobe Systems Incorporated
        Utopia (R)
        Utopia is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated
The Adobe typefaces (Type 1 font program, bitmaps and Adobe Font Metric
files) donated are:
        Utopia Regular
        Utopia Italic
        Utopia Bold
        Utopia Bold Italic

There is no explicit permission to modify the fonts. On the other hand, the 
sentence speaking of "umodified copies" seems to imply that modified copies 
may also be distributed.

The license of font-bh-* has the same ambiguity as far as modification is 
concerned:

This is the LEGAL NOTICE pertaining to the Lucida fonts from Bigelow & 
Holmes:

What do you think? Do trisquel and gnewsense distribute all files from 
x.org?
