You have looked closely at my avatar, right? ;)
> I have no idea why you refer to gpl.org but generally spoken, as
written, providing URLs is not the same as providing the license.
I stated "gpl.org", however I meant "whatever URL is being pointed to". On
searching, that is in fact "opensource.org".
And I question your statement here. Providing a reference to the terms of
the license is functionally identical to providing the text of the
license.
