How does the format influence the flakiness?

[killianmuldoon]

@sbueringer - you're right. I had it in my head that the MDlinks were only checked when they were formatted as markdown links.

I've update the PR to use an alternative page which IMO is a good replacement, and the subdomain seems much less flaky)

[sbueringer]

Makes sense

Not sure how to assess if the new pages are fine as well.

Stupid question, how important / sustainable is it to have a link to Windows licensing terms in our proposal?

Just considering how much time we already spent on those flaky links makes me wonder if it's worth the effort.

I used this to check the link multiple times - ran into the same flake with the original, but nothing with the learn.microsoft.com link.

I agree it good to have it mentioned. Is there a way to disable the linter?
