The FSF does not reside in the Franklin street anymore. Let's update
the address with the link to their website, as suggested in the latest
revisions of their licenses.

Ah, wait, that's what the FSF did on their site, ugh.
How about make this 4 patches, one for each file, include a link to

Just to be explicit here.
