This question applies to all license metadata: why not reference the exact revision, i.e. https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/blob/36c9e2717e4f89cf60a0d885e7ecc6069b338f48/LICENSE? That way, if the project ever gets relicensed (say, updated to EPL-3.0), the link won't go stale.

… why not reference the exact revision…
+1 to that. It would be even nicer to reference a tagged release (e.g. once SmartHome cuts 0.9.0). As consumers are updated to use different licenses, I expect them to be removed from using. But still, where stable links are easy, I think we should be using them instead of floating with master.
