Open-source and free software licenses don't imply that the source must remain served on some site, and it doesn't imply that the license for the code cannot change for future versions of that code necessarily- as it depends on the license and/or other factors.

But if you have a copy of the license and the code and it permitted use of it perpetually, then it can continue to be used. That's my understanding.
