Thanks Andrew. The entry has been corrected, with the link to the version
2... There is a time difference I noticed though: The v2 was submitted on
December 3, 2019 and the text of the submitted version says "december
2019". But the text of the steward version mentions January 2020, still
calling the license v2.

I updated the page with the text of the license originally submitted. I
haven't had the chance to double-check if there are any differences between
the versions from Dec and the January one.
