Well, I don't see that this has been done in GCC either.  As in
newlib/Cygwin, COPYING3 and COPYING3.LIB in GCC don't have the old
address, but every other COPYING* file has.

Apart from the COPYING* files, 1660 files in GCC still mention the old
address, just like 291 files in newlib.  And 2799 files in binutils/gdb.

Yes, and if you take a closer look, you'll see that COPYING3 and 
COPYING3.LIB are the same in all three repos, not containing an address
since 2007.

I don't see a reason to do a bulk change just to remove the old address,
especially if this isn't done in the other two repos either.
