31 Milk Street # 960789
Note that according to USPS standardized abbreviations it
should be Milk St.
I can't find any occurance for this one -- presumably because few
maintainers used time machines for preparing license headers.
I say that it should still be included, in case someone gets the address
update and ... updates the address instead of changing the notice to the
new style with a WWW address.
I think a regexp like this should cover it all:
(Mass Ave|Massachusetts Ave|Temple Pl|Franklin St|Milk St)
It covers 'Temple Pl' that I couldn't find any occurances for, and 'Milk
St' for future problems.
Interesting that the abbreviations turn out to also be prefixes.
I found a couple of pre-franklin addresses in some projects this way.
I've pushed the attached patch to gnulib. Hopefully false positives are
rare but please provide feedback and maybe we can improve the regexp.
I would suggest improving the message to explain that the FSF office
moves occasionally, but the URL should remain stable for the foreseeable
future.
