* Update links in COPYING, COPYINGv3, and COPYING.EXCEPTION.Zack Weinberg2020-07-101-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - COPYINGv3 now exactly matches https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt as of 2020-07-10. The only change was to turn a bunch of http:// URLs into https:// URLs. - COPYING now exactly matches https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt as of 2020-07-10 except that the FSF’s old postal address has been deleted and <https://fsf.org/> inserted (consistent with COPYINGv3). Besides the above, the only change was to whitespace. - A typo in a URL in COPYING.EXCEPTION was corrected.

Return back to GPLv2+, until the text of the exceptions is finalized, reverting the change from 2007-07-03 and the first part of the change from 2007-07-20. Also: * COPYING: Revert to GPLv2. * COPYINGv3: New file, since some auxiliary build tools, used for building autoconf and not installed, are GPLv3. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute COPYINGv3. * NEWS: Remove mention of GPLv3. * README: Clarify situation regarding GPLv3.
