When doing rpm builds for 3.6.2 rpmlint always spits out that nasty warning

[ 1977s] octave-devel.x86_64: W: incorrect-fsf-address
/usr/include/octave-3.6.2/octave/gl2ps.h
[ 1977s] The Free Software Foundation address in this file seems to be
outdated or
[ 1977s] misspelled.  Ask upstream to update the address, or if this is
a license file,
[ 1977s] possibly the entire file with a new copy available from the FSF.

(same address is in my gl2ps.h from the development sources)

What policy do we have for such 3rd party code? Can we simply change
that to the address

Free Software Foundation
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor
Boston, MA 02110-1301
USA

instead of what it shows now

Free Software Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA

If such a change is ok, I'll happily send a patch.
If that was already somewhere discussed and I missed that, then sorry
for the noise.
