Re: GPLv3/L8R - How should the copyright notice look?

As I said before, so long as a copy is in the distro (which it
is),
having a link as well is a bit more 21st century. Personally, I'd have
a snail address too. With my legal head on, I'm considering the
scenario where someone abuses the licence and is looking for excuses for
not having been able to read the licence, or otherwise obtain a
copy.
In the U.S., there are no excuses -- if you can't read the license,
it's your problem. Yes, they can get possibly avoid statutory damages
and/or criminal charges that way (because to some extent they depend
on intent), but the FSF (and maybe Sun) is the only party in a
position to enforce either of those IIUC -- nobody else has registered
copyright in XEmacs AFAIK (Lucid's were all assigned to the FSF
according to Jamie Z).
