Bug#332390: [gnu.org #263082] Bug#332390: base-files: please update FSF address in LGPL-2 (fwd)

I asked Eben and he hasn't gotten back to me yet. I don't see any reason not to do the update. But I don't think I can give official permission until I hear back from Eben. I'll let you know if I hear back from Eben (this is quite unlikely to be soon as he's busy with v3 issues). You can let me know if you think an answer on this is urgent, and I'll ask him straight up. Any progress on this? It's certainly not urgent, but it's a very simple answer for a very simple question. In summary: Is it your policy to update the snail mail address in every license, (in which case it still has to be done on the GPL 1.0 and several other old licenses) or it is your policy to update the snail mail address only in the current version of every license? (i.e. the latest GPL and the latest LGPL). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Package: base-files Version: 3.1.9 Severity: minor LGPL-2 should also be updated with the new FSF address. Thanks, Matej -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can't do that if the official version isn't updated first, as the license itself does not allow modifications, and this has not happened. Moreover, the GPL version 1 at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Licenses still has 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA as the FSF address, so they apparently do not update old licenses (which seems logical to me). May I close this bug? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

May I close this bug? Please contact them at least, perhaps they simply forgot. If they are not amenable to a change, feel free to close the bug.
