The problem happens when the license for an addon is modified. We could link to the specific version of an addon, but we can miss new versions in this way. I think we need to check periodically the addons license and don't assume it will never change.
It should be possible to automatically check for new versions and mark add-ons on the list as "to be re-checked". [1] provides some interesting information. Apparently, the install.rdf file in an add-on either provides an updateURL or (if the add-on is hosted on AMO) there's a standard AMO URL (it doesn't say what exactly) to get that information.
