The FSF has moved offices (AFAIK now just a PO box) and has updated its licences on gnu.org at e.g. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt to contain a reference to the website instead. rms has asked projects to update any references to the old address at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2024-09/msg00000.html, but I believe I've seen a directive asking GNU projects to update their copy completely rather than substituting the address (especially as an arbitrary substitution feels harder to justify than an exact copy of the licence from gnu.org we would update to). We should look at updating the copies in licenses/ in gentoo.git accordingly.
GCC and so on have already made such changes.
