Hi,

I've recently adopted the Debian gnulib package.

Documenting the copyright and licenses of all the files (a tedious but
(currently) necessary process), I spotted a few extremely minor issues,
and ran into a few things I'd like clarifying.

The attached patch:

* Replaces incorrect FSF addresses with pointers to www.gnu.org/licenses.
  (picked up by 'licensecheck', in the debian devscripts package).
* Removes a stray 'dnl' in the middle of a copyright notice.
* Updates users.txt with pointers to the gnuit home and gitweb pages.

modules/COPYING and modules/README both claim to apply to all the
files in modules/, but have different copyright years and slightly
different license wording.

Of the licenses specified in files in modules/:

When [L]GPL is specified, is that "any version"? "version 3 or later"?
The version specified in the actual source files?

Does "unmodifiable license text" correspond to:
> Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
> of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Does "unlimited" correspond to:
> This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation
> gives unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it,
> with or without modifications, as long as this notice is preserved.

thanks,

Ian.
