Description

Hello, we had a contributor suggest replacing a link in an old copyright notice with a version from archive.org:

https://github.com/apache/httpd/pull/84/files

 

The current URL is visible below, it appears to be unrelated content or just some placeholder for mass hosting:

https://github.com/apache/httpd/pull/84

Question:
Is this kind of thing permissible at all?

What if the contributor of the PR above was the copyright holder?
