LICENSE file missing from sdist on PyPI

[hugovk]

This should be fixed for the next release.

Using latest setuptools 56.0.0, it includes both COPYING and COPYING.LESSER in the sdist:

Creating tar archive
removing 'argh-0.26.3.dev0' (and everything under it)

I confirmed they're in the generated .tar.gz as well.

Can this issue be closed?

I would close after verifying the uploaded archive on pypi :-)

[neithere]

I believe this should be fixed in the latest release (0.27).
