Upstream is not consistent about this:

$ curl -s https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0-standalone.html | grep USA
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301, USA
Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301, USA.

 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.

so support both forms. I've stuck with our old comma version as canonical.

…/plain

These changes address the additional differences between the FSF's
text/plain version [1] (unchanged since 2007-07-16 according to the
Internet Archive [2]) and the FSF's HTML version [3].  There has been
previous work in this direction in e9eb557 (Merge pull request spdx#496
from mlinksva/patch-9, 2017-12-15) and f2b71bd (GPL-2.0: Mark
postal-code commas as optional, 2017-12-14, spdx#514).

The final paragraph ("This General Public License does not permit...")
is in both the text/plain and HTML FSF versions.  I'm not clear on why
it wasn't included in our template (our GPL-3.0 template does include
a similar paragraph).  I've put it in a new <optional> block to cover
folks who were using the text we previously recommended (which lacked
the paragraph).
