No license file #10

Presumably, matching the metadata, this is published under the Python Software Foundation License, but no COPYING / LICENSE file is available. Could you add one?

rbtcollins commented 8 years ago

The license is stated - https://github.com/testing-cabal/linecache2/blob/master/setup.cfg#L13

Why do you want a COPYING/LICENSE file?

cwebber commented 8 years ago

Metadata about a license is not necessarily trustable as the legalcode itself. For example, if someone puts down "BSD", there are many variants of the BSD license. Distributing the legalcode with the project itself is key to good software freedom hygeine.

Could I ask what version of PSF this is?

No license file makes for a lot of failing builds for people using FOSS checks in CI.
