Update FSF Address

A lot of .c / .h files have an outdated FSF Address.

Attached a patch that replaces them, based on a script / sed logic.

The GPLv3 suggests:

    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

which is probably more future-compatible

(just fix it to say LGPL instead of GPL)
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2013-08-17 21:38:38 UTC 
I agree with Dan, a patch to avoid the address and just put a url would be appreciated.

Dominique... could you please update your patch to include the text suggested by Dan, instead of the new postal address?

You can use Andika's script to do it [1]

Thanks!
