This bug was fixed in the package apt-setup - 1:0.104ubuntu5

---------------
apt-setup (1:0.104ubuntu5) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * generators/50mirror.ubuntu: universe incorrectly mentions some software
    being unfree, which is not true. Remove that mention from the notice we
    write to sources.list. Patch from Dan Watkins. (LP: #1590358)

  The comment above the universe section of sources.list in both desktop
  and server installs of xenial is the same as that for multiverse:

  ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
  ## team, and may not be under a free licence. Please satisfy yourself as to
  ## your rights to use the software. Also, please note that software in
  ## universe WILL NOT receive any review or updates from the Ubuntu security
  ## team.

  This changed between wily and xenial (with the upload of
  1:0.104ubuntu1); previously, it correctly read:

  ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
  ## team. Also, please note that software in universe WILL NOT receive any
  ## review or updates from the Ubuntu security team.

  This old comment should be restored.
