Subject: Incorrect FSF address in license file
The LICENSE file contain the full GPL text, with the following address: 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA The address of the FSF in that file is incorrect and should be changed. The new address of the FSF is: 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA Could you change the LICENSE file to contain a copy of the latest GPLv1 with their new address for a future release? http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-1.0.txt Note that the address appears in fact twice in the license text, an that the only differences between your copy and the one linked above are: - the addresses - some white spaces This is considered a potential legal issue for some distributors (at least for Fedora, where I'm about to submit ExtUtils::H2PM for inclusion). Thanks.

Hi there, the LICENSE files in all my dists. are in fact just created by Module::Build as part of the "Build distmeta" step. The text is provided by Software::License, and was updated with the new address a while ago. I'll make some new releases of these modules now though. I notice you've opened four bugs here. In future, if you find any more occurances of this issue it might be easier just to prod me on IRC - LeoNerd on irc.freenode.net or irc.perl.org. It's quick just to create a new release; probably less effort than filling in a bug form. :) -- Paul Evans
