[License-discuss] stale link in license terms

I work on some industry standards that are license under the Educational
Community License, version 2.0. A copy of that license can be found here:
https://opensource.org/license/ecl-2-0

The appendix "How to apply ..." says
"You may obtain a copy of the License at
http://www.osedu.org/licenses/ECL-2.0"

However, that link takes me to a page that says "No Results Found." The
site seems to have gotten out of the business of hosting licenses.

Wikipedia provides this link: https://spdx.org/licenses/ECL-2.0.html
which also points to the osedu.org site.

Is it "legal" to change the appendix of the license to supply a valid URL?
