[rkward-devel] FSF address

[Pierre-Yves Chibon]

Good morning,

I was updating the Fedora RPM for rkward this morning and while checking
that I was doing a correct job I ran into this error:
rkward.x86_64: E:
incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/doc/rkward-0.5.6/COPYING

Extended version is:
"""
rkward.x86_64: E:
incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/doc/rkward-0.5.6/COPYING
The Free Software Foundation address in this file seems to be outdated
or misspelled.  Ask upstream to update the address, or if this is a
license file, possibly the entire file with a new copy available from
the FSF.
"""

So I checked the COPYING file from rkward which indeed says:
"""
 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
                       59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA

 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
"""

While on the fsf website I find:
"""
Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

So there is indeed an error in the FSF address of the COPYING file :-)

Have a nice day,

Pierre
