[  109s] The Free Software Foundation address in this file seems to be outdated or
[  109s] misspelled.  Ask upstream to update the address, or if this is a license file,
[  109s] possibly the entire file with a new copy available from the FSF.

This is due to the incorrect address of the fsf in the license and license headers.

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

The correct one is:

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

You can get it from gnu.org
