Bug Description

Running licensecheck on the noise sources reports that most of the files are LGPLv2+ licensed, but include the wrong FSF address.

Package checkers / linters (for example the compulsory fedora one - rpmlint) complain very verbosely about this.

As a side note, it seems that the package license displayed on the project homepage (https://launchpad.net/noise) is wrong (nearly all source files are LGPLv2+, displayed license is GPLv3).

Thanks for the quick fix, but I think you missed 2 files:

 $ licensecheck -r . | grep incorrect
   ./core/PluginManager.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
   ./plugins/Devices/iPod/iPodPlaylistHelper.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
