I added
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plan9us-hg/plan9us-hg/README.too to an
AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32983 for ArchLinux, we
build from mercurial repo.

How about adding a slightly re-phrased REAME.too as follows:

"The bulk of this software is derived from Plan 9 and is thus
distributed under the Lucent Public License, Version 1.02, reproduced
below. There are a few exceptions: libutf, libfmt, and libregexp are
distributed under simpler BSD-like boilerplates.  See the LICENSE files
in those directories.  There are other exceptions, also marked with
LICENSE files in their directories or marked at the top of the file. The
bitmap fonts in the font/luc, font/lucm, font/lucsans, and font/pelm
directory are copyright B&H Inc. and distributed under more restricted
terms under agreement with B&H.  See the NOTICE file in those directories.

Most of the COPYRIGHT, LICENSE, NOTICE and, or README informative files
are installed, but in /usr/local/plan9/unix or $PLAN9/unix directory."
