Incorrect FSF address in COPYING license file #3456

Describe the bug
COPYING file has an old address "675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA" instead of
the current one "51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA" in COPYING file
(FYI: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/blob/master/COPYING
and https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpmlint/blob/main/COPYING
have different addresses so that rpmlint reports incorrect-fsf-address on rpm packages)

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. dnf install -y rpmlint
  2. dnf download rpm
  3. rpmlint rpm-4.20.0-1.fc42.x86_64.rpm | grep incorrect-fsf-address
  4. Error encountered:
rpm.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/doc/rpm/COPYING
rpm.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/licenses/rpm/COPYING

Expected behavior
No incorrect-fsf-address should be reported by rpmlint

Output
If applicable, add copy of the output on the command line or a screenshots to help explain your problem.

Environment
