Subject: [PATCH] LICENSES: Replace the obsolete address of the FSF
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@...hat.com>
The FSF does not reside in the Franklin street anymore. Let's update
the address with the link to their website, as suggested in the latest
revisions of their licenses.
(See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt for example)
