Hi GNU webmasters,
What is the process to update the postal addresses in the old GPLv2,
LGPLv2 and LGPLv2.1 license files?
$GNUWWWLICENSES old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt
$GNUWWWLICENSES old-licenses/gpl-2.0.texi
$GNUWWWLICENSES old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt

Yes, it does ;-) It already caught libtool:

The attached syntax-check rule will help us catch this problem in
packages.

Thanks for doing this. I now did the same thing in other packages I maintain
or help maintain.

See below - the Franklin Street address for FSF is obsolete. I think
gnulib has changed most files to use newer style blurbs without postal
addresses already, but the following files seems to remain:
jas@kaka:~/src/gnulib$ rgrep -i franklin .
./doc/COPYING.LESSERv2: 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floo
