I thought the "composite" framework make it so that drivers like this
were no longer needed.  Or am I mistaken somehow?

Do you really mean "any later version"?

These two paragraphs are not needed, and the address is a very bad idea
to include in any file as it changes over time and I don't think you
want to keep up with the address location of the FSF for the next 40+

As an example of this, I am starting to get patches from the FSF to fix
up old addresses, 10 years after moving their office...
