IANAL, but AFAICS multipath-tools comes under GPLv2, and the GPLv2
still contains the original paragraph with the address. 

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html#howto

Replacing this by the text from GPLv3, and using the "/licenses/" link,
which points to a page mostly devoted to GPLv3, might cause people to
think we're using GPLv3. I'm in favor of keeping the GPLv2 wording.
