Licensing: flit-core sources include vendored tomli - different licence

[DimitriPapadopoulos]

As long as flit-core ships with a vendored tomli package, I believe this should be modified:

flit/flit_core/pyproject.toml

Line 15 in 25e6027

license = "BSD-3-Clause"

to match the additional licence file under flit_core/vendor:

flit/flit_core/pyproject.toml

Line 16 in 25e6027

license-files = ["LICENSE*", "flit_core/vendor/**/LICENSE*"]

Instead use:

license = "BSD-3-Clause AND MIT"

See also pypa/setuptools#5049.

There have been some discussions regarding that topic on discuss.python.org. IMNAL so take my opinion for what it is but I believe that as long as the vendoring is done correctly, the resulting license doesn't necessarily change. I.e. just including MIT license code doesn't mean the project itself needs to be licensed with AND MIT.

That's somewhat different with copy-left licenses but that's not the point here.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll close the associated PR myself.
