The FSF address needs update in several files

[Göran Uddeborg]

When running "rpmlint" on the Emacs VM package for Fedora, it discovered that several of the lisp files had an old obsolete address to the FSF in them. The package contains the released version of VM, 8.1.2, but a quick look in the trunk code reveals that the same problem remains now. So I assume this still needs to be fixed.

The files having the problem in 8.1.2 are these:

emacs-vm.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/vm/vm-message-history.el
emacs-vm.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/vm/vm-ps-print.el
emacs-vm.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/vm/vm-pgg.el
emacs-vm.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/vm/vm-vcard.el
emacs-vm.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/vm/vm-grepmail.el
emacs-vm.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/vm/vm-rfaddons.el
emacs-vm.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/vm/vm-pine.el

What is the incorrect FSF address? I can't see any.

To take the first file as an example, vm-message-history.el, it says

But the current address is different, see e.g. the on-line version of the GPLv2 license (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt):

Ah, I was looking for email address! I will fix it. What a pain!

Right, I guess "address" needs qualifications these days. Sorry for the confusion! :-)
