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
+++ b/packaging-hint-files.html
