Hi Claude, There was a recent discussion of the lack of a license file in setuptools here: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/612 and another important discussion here: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/132. This is probably the most relevant quotable bit from those two issues, from Jason Coombs (the primary developer of setuptools:
"The [License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License] classifier isn't a suggestion but a declaration and follows the distutils guide for declaring a license. I consider inclusion of a license file redundant and error prone." Hopefully this resolves your issue about not having an explicit license file.
