Update GPLv2 license to reflect latest version

The license text and terms do not change, but the document has been
updated, to reflect the FSF's current contact points, and to change 
the example name, under the "How to apply..." part, to "Moe Ghoul".

This reflects the FSF's own change, in the www.gnu.org CVS repo, at
https://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/www/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt?annotate=1.5

Related #7749.
PR #21626.
