You must comply with the old license if you are distributing anything
which is derived from that software.

I'd say at a minimum, the warranty disclaimer and copyrights of the old 
software must be propagated to the new downloaders.  That is one
purpose of the Apache 1.1 clause #2:

  2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright 
     notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in
     the documentation and/or other materials provided with the 
     distribution.

(And clause #1 generally preserves the notice in source forms.)

You must comply with the old license terms.  Depending on how you 
are distributing and what your phrase "license on the site" means,
you could be OK or not.


But I would point out that I dislike license surprises when I 
download.  I dislike reading a license before downloading, and then 
finding a different license after downloading.
