that COPYRIGHT file doesn't contain the old license text. It has been 
updated since 9.10.4-P3 (previous version), and now it contains a text 
that specifies the license is MPL 2.0:

--------------
$ ~/bind-9.11.0 $ head -n5 COPYRIGHT

This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public
License, v. 2.0. If a copy of the MPL was not distributed with this
file, You can obtain one at http://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/.
--------------

Isn't that enough?
