In my opinion, we should follow strictly how FSF recommends the GPL to be presented. The use of postal addresses is no longer the FSF's current postion. .. and what a headache it all was when they moved their office. All License texts had to be revised. That's a reason enough to stick to the FSF recommended format that uses URL. Jari -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
