[PULL 09/19] COPYING: replace FSF postal address with licenses URL
Posted by Thomas Huth 4 months, 3 weeks ago
From: Sean Wei <me@sean.taipei>

The license text in COPYING (GPLv2), COPYING.LIB (LGPLv2.1),
and the linux-headers/LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0 file are
referenced to the obsolete FSF postal address.

Replace it with the canonical GNU licenses URL recommended by the FSF:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/

[thuth: dropped the changes to the linux-headers folder]
