Maybe an issue could be filed to propose to adopt a machine-readable license format. Maybe that of Debian's packages: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ which itself uses the SPDX License List, i.e., https://spdx.org/licenses/

pip's searching capabilities would then be enhanced and could be used to reliably list the free libraries to be copied to a new 100%-free repository that the FSF could host.
