I'll fix these.

Please do not do this. The *x macros are for denoting operating systems. Th=
is
is semantically different because the FreeBSD Foundation is a copyright hol=
der,
so the appropriate macro is .An.

The application is that then we can search manuals for ones the FreeBSD
Foundation has funded work in, like every other copyright holder. The corre=
ct
usage is like this:

.Fx Foundation. ->
.An FreeBSD Foundation .

Thanks for reporting this.
