 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.

 > But in a legal sense, a URL can not represent the license text.
