License classifiers are deprecated post-PEP 639.
With the implementation of the PEP now this causes a warning,
so this PR removes the classifier.
Since setuptools automatically picks up
LICENSE*
files, the license information is already included in the distribution.A possible additional step is to add a SPDX license expression like
license = "MIT"
to the[project]
table in PyPI.This PR does not implement this additional step because my understanding is that not all projects can derive accurate SPDX license expressions. For example,
setuptools
, as far as I understand, would need a very complex compound SPDX expression to cope with the vendored packages:MIT AND APACHE-2 AND LGPL-3.0-or-later AND PSF-2.0...
. Moreover this expression would need reviewing/updating everytime the vendored dependencies are updated.
