Resolves #8880

https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/blob/main/wheels/dependency_licenses/FREETYPE2.txt

The FreeType 2 font engine is copyrighted work and cannot be used
legally without a software license. In order to make this project
usable to a vast majority of developers, we distribute it under two
mutually exclusive open-source licenses.

This means that you must choose one of the two licenses described
below, then obey all its terms and conditions when using FreeType 2 in
any of your projects or products.

At the moment, FREETYPE2.txt includes both the FreeType License and the GPL v2 license.

This removes the GPL v2 license.
