Spec link is already 404, so brittle, not necessarily current, and that licence list appendix is only informative and not current, so link to the actual current license list instead:

        https://spdx.org/licenses/

and provide a link to the generic current spec page which offers different 
formats:

        https://spdx.dev/specifications/#current-version

with something like (hacked from previous email):

diff --git a/packaging-hint-files.html b/packaging-hint-files.html
--- a/packaging-hint-files.html

La perfection est atteinte                      Perfection is achieved
non pas lorsqu'il n'y a plus rien à ajouter     not when there is no more to add
mais lorsqu'il n'y a plus rien à retirer        but when there is no more to cut
