Wat Jeroen zegt lijkt me het volledigst. Goed dat je het even hebt nagelopen. Je wil niet dat mensen op wazige of niet-relevante pagina’s terechtkomen.
IIRC the problem is is that the OSMF is contractually required to provide the text and the link, and nobody from AND has been reachable to authorise changing it. See somewhere deep in the LWG minutes (and the LWG are likely the people the DWG should be talking to).
So just change the URI to non-linking text (or better yet have the LWG conclude that and do it). I could be mistaken, but I’m not seeing a requirement to actually use a hyperlink in the CC-BY license — in fact, in print you can’t even use a hyperlink. As long as the URI is repeated verbatim (but as plain text instead of using a <a>-tag in HTML) it seems fine.
@Sander_H Not allowed by the license. The URI must remain as-is if it is present. However…
@SimonPoole Which version of CC-BY-SA is this even about? This cannot have been version 4.0 which was published after this import. This means that it is not required to provide the URI, if it no longer contains any information on the license (and in case of version 1.0, not required at all).
They were one of the organisations contacted during the licence change and the agreement reached then would be what is relevant. With other words Michael Collinson probably knows (any CC BY-SA version is fundamentally incompatible with the ODbL).
