Hi Florian,

Your license updates made me notice some occurrences of the FSF's old
address which closed last year [1]. This patch removes it from the
manual. The rest should be covered by your changes:

    $ git ls-files | xargs grep -lF '51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor'
    COPYING
    COPYING.LIB
    sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/hppa/____longjmp_chk.c

Okay to push?
