Unfortunately, it's not just the license, it's also the license headers on 
source files.

For the software for which I am upstream, I have started to replace those 
addresses in source files with the web page reference from the recommended 
license header of the GPLv3:
   You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
   along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

IMHO, this is a good idea even for code which is GPLv2+. (GPLv2-only code 
(ugh!) should probably refer to
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html instead, or keep the 
postal address as recommended in the GPLv2.)
