I'm actually unsure if updating copyright notices like that is OK.

Yes, you're moving, but the address in the notice documents the status at
the time you added it.

You still can add a new copyright notice with the new address when you update
the document in the future. :-)

Updating the address where it is a "contact info" or in MAINTAINERS is a
different matter, of course.
