licensing information incorrect in some source files

For Example (maya-calendar):

Running licensecheck on the maya-calendar sources reports that some of the files which include licensing information include the wrong FSF address.

$ licensecheck -r . | awk -F ": " '{ print $2 }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -gr

163 No copyright UNKNOWN 101 UNKNOWN 38 GPL (v3 or later) 6 LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) 4 No copyright GENERATED FILE 4 BSD (2 clause) 3 No copyright GPL (v3 or later) 2 LGPL (v2.1 or later)

The affected files are:

$ licensecheck -r . | grep incorrect ./core/Backends/Backend.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) ./core/Backends/BackendsManager.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) ./core/Backends/LocalBackend.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) ./core/Backends/PlacementWidget.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) ./plugins/CalDAV/CalDAVBackend.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) ./plugins/Google/GoogleBackend.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)

Package checkers / linters (for example the compulsory fedora one - rpmlint) complain very verbosely about this.
