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?
