Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation
in the file header comment. Resolve by replacing the address with

updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

This seems to pop up from time to time and unfortunately the resolution
seems not consistent at those times. Why not simply refer to the full
license text that is in the COPYING file in the tree itself.

I, personally have only had one request in the last 10 years to change
our Intel Wired Ethernet headers and that was because the address
changed. I am open to suggestions, although when I proposed either
updating the address to the current address or use the URL on LKML and
netdev, the response I got was to update to the use the URL.
I guess the only argument I would have against referring to the COPYING
in the tree itself is that the headers already state:
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
with this program;
(which refers to the COPYING file) and then it states...
if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
51 Franklin St - Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
This is the second part that needs cleanup if the file refers to the old
address. So just by removing the address and providing the URL, you are
providing a place that users can get the license *if* the COPYING file
gets removed (or altered) by who ever releases the kernel.

Hi Jeff.
I think what you've done is fine, but remember that
URLs come and go too.
There was a discussion about this just a bit ago on lkml
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/6/158
and this message was added to checkpatch recently:
"Do not include the paragraph about writing to the Free Software
Foundation's mailing address from the sample GPL notice. The FSF has
changed addresses in the past, and may do so again. Linux already
includes a copy of the GPL.\n"

True, I just wish that were true for those embarrassing pictures of me
20 years ago... <joking>
