I maintain this project as a package for Arch Linux.
Upon trying to upgrade to 7.1.0 I noticed that the project now no longer provides the required MIT license file (removed in 9a81db3).
Further, it appears that
This is problematic for downstream packaging systems, as they usually clearly define during download of sources what the input of a system package is going to be.
Many build environments now pivot towards not allowing internet access during build time (and frankly no project should need to download something during build time).
Please re-instate the license file for this project (similar to what has been done in setuptools: pypa/setuptools@ae480ff), so that it can be packaged again.

7.1.0 is broken due to this.
