Well, let me reverse this -- it's probably about as reasonable to use
a postal address as an URL. Maybe slightly more reasonable. But
neither a postal address, an URL, nor for that matter a non-profit
organization, nor the laws of a particular country, nor the country
itself, are rock-solid permanent things. You have to start somewhere.
Perhaps the best idea is to join the Long Now Foundation:
http://www.longnow.org/10kclock/Clock_location.htm
"If you are unable to obtain a copy of this license by other means,
please go to the clock atop Long Mountain in eastern Nevada."
