I'll fix these.

Please do not do this. The *x macros are for denoting operating systems. This
is semantically different because the FreeBSD Foundation is a copyright holder,
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 correct
usage is like this:

.Fx Foundation. ->
.An FreeBSD Foundation .

Thanks for reporting this.
