Thanks for reporting that problem. I fixed it by installing the attached patch into gnulib; this should eventually percolate into the next coreutils release.

I guess an old s/write/read/ substitution bled into the copyright notice, and when we updated notices to point to www.gnu.org we didn't catch the bug.
