Exactly. We always acknowledged the XFree86 project pretty prominently in
the release documents, and if some vendor redistributes NetBSD including
X, it just adds another clause to the list he already has to acknowledge.

Don't believe the rumors, look yourself:

Therein you'll find this:

What is the difference  between 1.0 and 1.1?

The first difference is that both the source code and the binary
redistribution are now explicitly addressed, because the original 1.0 license
failed to clarify what it meant when it referred to "the Software".
Traditionally, "software" in the free software world meant "source code".
However, our license allows binary-only redistributions, and there is no
provision under the 1.0 license that specifically covers our licence notices
reproduction in those cases.

The second difference is that the new license, unike the old one, explicitly
requires that the copyright holders and its contributors be acknowledged in
the end user documentation which accompanies redistribution, in the software
binaries itself.
