PEP 639, Round 2: Improving license clarity with better package metadata

[brettcannon]

@CAM-Gerlach

With this PEP, there is a new license-files key that allows adding multiple license-related files in addition to a license expression

Have you actually come across a need for this from a top-level perspective?

@CAM-Gerlach

including licenses from subdirs, e.g. vendored projects, rather than arbitrarily dropping them.

Huh, interesting use-case!

@pf_moore

I said in a post above that I’d prefer someone else to volunteer to be PEP delegate for this, so feel free.

I volunteer then! Let the regret begin.

@pf_moore

means that we need a PyPA vote, or if a simple call for anyone who objects to speak up is sufficient,

If you’re mirroring how the Python core team does it then you just appoint and see if anyone screams.
