[Fedora-legal-list] Updating old FSF address in license
Hello,
I've started the package process for Xephem, an astronomy ephemeris program, but
I've found that some headers and the license file of a bundled (*) library still
report the old FSF address.
I've asked upstream to update the address with a patch [1], but, indeed, they've
pointed me to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_Rpmlint_issues#incorrect-fsf-address
where it's said that the license file itself should not be patched. How should I
interpret that statement? Should I leave the old address in the license and update only
the headers, or should I replace the LICENSE file with an updated version from FSF (which,
I suppose, it will result in the same patch)? Is it fine to replace the license file of a
bundled (*) library?
(*) the bundled library is not available anywhere else, AFAIK, so it doesn't make
sense to unbundle it.
