[PATCH] powerpc: Replace the obsolete address of the FSF
Posted by Thomas Huth 2 months, 4 weeks ago 
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.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
revision of the GPL-2.0 license.
(See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt for example)

As far as I know, licensing related stuff have to be copied to 
linux-spdx@vger.kernel.org

There is an entry for it in the MAINTAINERS file:

LICENSES and SPDX stuff

That looks good, this is indeed the newer GPLv2 text.
