The Free Software Foundation closed their office at 51 Franklin St in August 2024 [1]. Their new mailing address is on 31 Milk Street [2].

If this test was reproduced today, we may see different results ;)

That's recent enough that mail forwarding should work, if they set it up:

> Standard mail forwarding lasts 12 months. You can pay to extend mail forwarding for 6, 12, or 18 more months (18 months is the maximum).

That's kind of awkward when you consider people will find that address for source code where that license file just wont be updated for decades to come, if at all.

I wrote a little more about the various offices as someone who used to work there.

This test isn't about writing to the FSF, it's about writing to the vendor who supplied the software.

Did they also force RMS to move out?

Maybe he refused to move, so they did?
