They also do not provide placeholders for their URLs, so if their URLs change, then they would need to have those changes approved by the OSI.

Do you have an example of URL placeholders in a license that I can reference? I cannot find an OSI license that uses placeholders for URLs.

The URLs that changed in this license were changed 14 years ago. It was an oversight that version 3.01 was never submitted to the OSI for approval back then. The URLs have not changed in that 14-year time span.

Cheers,
Ben
