That reminds me on the time the FSF moved, they changed their address, and the open source product I worked on had to change their address in the license notices in our product:

And of course, as happens more often, this issue was raised to us by Debian developers, who care a great deal about 'correctness'

The FSF offices have moved again if you weren't aware. The new address is

Free Software Foundation 31 Milk Street, # 960789 Boston, MA 02196 USA

In Gnulib we distribute and use the license with just a link to <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/> [1]. I would just use that.

Many GNU projects use a rule that will fail 'make distcheck' when it sees an address in the sources [2].

		Hmm, I wonder if there is a linter somewhere for copyright notice and license grant smells. Made a note to add an fsf-address check to check-all-the-things.
