Carnë,
thanks for doing this. I never noticed this issue while cut-and-pasting
the license notice. But now I see that in Octaves files the notice
simply says
## You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
## along with this program; If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
instead of giving a postal address. Maybe we should do this, too?
I'd guess this reference could be more constant than the postal
address.
