See my comment on the main PR. This is an issue. The source and binary
distributions have *different* `LICENSE` files, because they bundle different
dependencies. Each distribution needs to have a `LICENSE` file that is accurate
for that distribution, without superfluous entries.
This approach is great for the binary distribution, but the source
distribution will need to be handled differently. Given the relatively small
number of dependencies bundled into the source distribution, I'm happy for that
to be done manually, if that is the simplest approach.
