[discussion] Encouraging people to include license files

Open toddrme2178 opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

I looked at the top 25 packages on the wheels website, and only 6 had license files. So although the website and the python packaging guidelines both strongly encourage people to add license files, it seems most packages still aren't doing so. So maybe something else could be done to get the message out.

Perhaps something automated, either in the wheels build process, wheels upload process, pypi account, or this website (or some combination) could be done to warn packagers that they are missing the file.
