You've included the files with the address before last (which I listed in <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-05/msg02881.html>)? And made sure you aren't changing any notices in generated files which come from software such as autoconf and would be changed back at next regeneration (there may not be such notices because of the more liberal licences used on such code, but in general regenerating rather than modifying generated files is safer here). And made sure you're only changing code imported from elsewhere (e.g. libtool) where the upstream location has already made the change, or imported a new upstream version rather than changing the local copy at all if that's the policy we follow for the particular file (e.g. config.sub, config.guess aren't changed locally at all)? It will be necessary to be vigilant for the old address being reintroduced by merges from branches or private trees. Consider changing the address also on development branches for files which were added on those branches. -- Joseph S.
