We already have some python packages which don't include the license
on the tarball, although it exists in the repo.
Most of the times, it's because the maintainer of the package didn't add
the license file in MANIFEST.in (which seems to be your case too).
On those cases, PKG-INFO is mostly used, but it's not the preferred
solution, so I suggest to send a PR for adding the license to
MANIFEST.in
You can see an example from snmpclitools here:
