And yet you can see "License: ReportLab BSD Derived" in the left-hand

back to including the "License" classifier value as is (even if
invalid) if no "license" field was present? Here's the project's
setup(), which doesn't seem to have changed since 2013:
You used to be able to edit a release's metadata manually in a web form;
possibly the license was added that way.

we certainly have not edited the metadata after upload. As Chris mentioned the classifier was in the package for a long time. I
think the previous uploads were done via the old manual web page upload so perhaps that didn't check. My attempts to upload the
latest reportlab-3.5.0.tar.gz failed initially with an obscure message from twine about string buffer being required. I didn't
discover what the problem there was, but I imagine another field has changed. I succeeded eventually after re-doing the sdist with
a more modern virtual environment.
