Subject: [PATCH] debian: Point at GNU website for full GPL text
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 21:47:07 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603124708.3834-1-valter.jansons@gmail.com> (raw)
The FSF mailing address is outdated and should not be referenced in
copyright license text, as no response will be received from it.
Instead, the GNU website can be used for obtaining license text.
