Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] LICENSES: Replace the obsolete address of the FSF in the LGPL-2.1

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 LGPL-2.1 license:
