i can put in an option for it. do you mind opening a bug as an new feature 
request for it.

possible implementation:

√ check box below the mapping drop downs, near the category or licensing 
options, to indicate that you want the url to be present; default would be 
checked; uncheck it if you don't want it.

with kind regards,
dan
