Why not just include it along with a copy of the GPL?  Some of the
other code in X has different licenses. IANAL, but can't different
modules with different licenses live together?  Just change the overall
X.org license to say "modules are licensed with their respective
licenses. see source."  the X.org/xfree86 licenses can continue to have
their licneses and new modules can have whatever open source license
they want...
