Copyright checker doesn't accept current copyright URL #1746

Specberus complains if you use the current dated copyright URL (https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2023/software-license), but allows both the undated URL (https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software) and the previous dated URL which is no longer in force (https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2015/copyright-software-and-document). This caused some publication failures when someone updated Bikeshed's W3C boilerplates to use the new dated URL (https://github.com/speced/bikeshed-boilerplate/issues/44).

I've just updated the boilerplates to use the undated URL, so the Bikeshed issue should be resolved, but the checker needs to be updated to accept the new dated URL and stop accepting the old one.

Thanks for the report. This was clearly an oversight which should be fixed now.
