Incorrect FSF address

Bug description

The Fedora Linux distribution is doing a license audit. During that effort, we found a number of MuseScore files that have an incorrect address for the FSF. They moved from 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139 to 51 Franklin Street, Suite 500, Boston, MA 02110-1335 in 2005, so the old address is now 18 years out of date. The affected files:

• sandbox/engraving/config.h
• SetupConfigure.cmake
• share/styles/cchords_muse.xml
• share/styles/cchords_nrb.xml
• share/styles/cchords_rb.xml
• share/styles/cchords_sym.xml
• share/styles/chords_jazz.xml
• share/styles/chords_std.xml
• share/styles/chords.xml
• share/styles/jazzchords.xml
• share/styles/stdchords.xml
• src/framework/testing/gtest.cmake
• src/framework/testing/qtest.cmake
• src/framework/uicomponents/view/selectmultipledirectoriesmodel.cpp
• src/framework/uicomponents/view/selectmultipledirectoriesmodel.h
• thirdparty/rtf2html/CMakeLists.txt
• tools/bww2mxml/bww2mxml.pro
• tools/bww2mxml/mxmlwriter.h
• version.cmake

The address has been updated in the FSF's copy of both the GNU Library General Public License, version 2.0 and the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1, so I think it should be harmless to update it in your files as well.

@igorkorsukov @cbjeukendrup can you please advise on this one? Thank you!

[cbjeukendrup]

Yes, this is trivial; we just need to update the license text at the top of each code file. Those license headers deserve some cleanup anyway; for example .cmake files were not handled when we did the big cleanup a few years ago.

Also, I think that at some point we need to update the copyright year everywhere, and replace "MuseScore BVBA" with "MuseScore Limited".

Hi, new contributor here, I'd be happy to help on this issue if it's still relevant!
As I understand, it's just a matter of replacing the FSF address in the listed files? I assume the other things mentioned like copyright year and replacing "MuseScore BVBA" with "MuseScore Limited" should go under a separate issue/PR?

@BrownianNotion If you could update the entire license info header, that would be great! And example of a file that has the correct header is the root CMakeLists.txt file.
(Of course, the type of comment needs to be different for each file type: # for CMake and sh, /* */ for cpp/qml, <!-- --> for xml...)
