The majority of the source files contain a "default" copyright header that points out where to find the MIT license. However, the link provided is using http instead of https and results in a redirect to https://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php. The proposer suggests tackling this issue by creating an issue on GitHub, using `sed -i` to update the links, creating a PR on GitHub, and returning to the mailing list. Although this change would affect several hundred files, it may also require a copyright-year-extension to 2018. An example header can be seen at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/a9a49e6e7e8df13d80a6dc3245ce7ef041942e9b/src/consensus/merkle.cpp#L3. The proposer requests quick feedback but is uncertain of the culture.
