Updating old FSF address in license

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
I've started the package process for Xephem, an astronomy ephemeris program, but I've found that some headers and the license file of a bundled (*) library still report the old FSF address.
I've asked upstream to update the address with a patch [1], but, indeed, they've pointed me to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_Rpmlint_issues#incorrect-fsf-address where it's said that the license file itself should not be patched. How should I interpret that statement? Should I leave the old address in the license and update only the headers, or should I replace the LICENSE file with an updated version from FSF (which, I suppose, it will result in the same patch)? Is it fine to replace the license file of a bundled (*) library?

(*) the bundled library is not available anywhere else, AFAIK, so it doesn't make sense to unbundle it.
