### Description

As reported by @armijnhemel the FSF has silently published new versions of the GPL 2.0, and likely other licenses, including backporting these modifications to old versions of the licenses :smiling_imp: because why would you need to respect the version number of legal document that demands to be reproduced verbatim?

The address is gone, so is Ty Coon:
See this diff https://gist.github.com/pombredanne/0916054e078a7bd033b04da84bb659eb/revisions

- https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html
- https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt (and previous https://web.archive.org/web/20240407010559/https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt )

And there are likely many other licenses also affected.
