This one is fine. X11 is GPL compatible license. It means that you can
relicense your modified copy under the GPL at any time. Although it
makes little sense, as this is a generated file, and will ignore your
changes anyway.

No, no notice is needed.

Yes, they do not ship it. But for a different reason.

As it is a generated file, it is updated at every build. It simply makes
no sense to ship it, or keep it on version control systems for that
matter. The same goes for other any other file generated by autotools.

I had a quick look at the SVN trunk of Warzone 2100 and I did not see
any such files, so everything seems to be just fine.

Great.
