The normal process of generating licenses for modular X packages is to run through all source files in an editor and copy all the copyright/license info into the license file. However, in the case of xorg-server, there are almost 2000 source files. We're not paid enough to do that much work in a short period of time. ;) Upstream has stated that MIT is a good approximation. The only difference is that the code will contain a large amount of explicit copyrights from the various companies and individuals who have worked on this project. If you're interested, take a look at the source file of choice.
