I'm getting an incorrect FSF address when I'm building a package.

I checked here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_Rpmlint_issues#incorrect-fsf-address

and built the package with the recommended file.  Still get the error.

I checked the address with FSF, and what is in the COPYING file matches:
http://www.fsf.org/about/contact/

I then checked bugzilla and found:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700095

which as been open since April, 2011.

Am I missing something here? If there is indeed an error that I'm missing I would like to understand it so I can notify upstream to do the right thing. If this is just a rpmlint glitch it really should be addressed - otherwise people tend to start ignoring
the errors and warnings.


The check is not only applied to COPYING but also to the license text in source files. Have you checked those?


Cheers!
