Fallback on license field

[coldfix]

On PyPI one can only use well-known licenses in the classifier fields. The field 'license' is a usefull fallback to lookup the license name in case no classifier is available.

I did think about doing this myself, but then I found people actually blob the whole license in this field, I personally would like to see this field primary (so mine just says MIT instead of MIT License). How about setting it as primary field and forcing a length check + fallback to classifier?

[coldfix]

Oh, I didn't think about this. What length would you suggest? Maybe a check for newlines would be less arbitrary and also prevent this sort of thing.

Newline check sounds good.

Done.
