it looks like the OP is looking for the license to setuptools, not matplotlib.
(MPL's licence file is here: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/LICENSE/LICENSE) but setuptools does not appear to have one: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools and it is a pypa package, so this is kind the right list for it -- though I"d post an issue on gitHub. BTW, I notice that the Python Packaging User Guide doesn't recommend a LICENSE file -- it probably should. NOTE to the OP: almost every python package depends on setuptools, so this really has nothing to do with Matplotlib :-) -CHB On Thu, Aug 11, 2016 at 8:36 PM, Noah Kantrowitz <n...@coderanger.net> wrote: > Hi there, this list is for the discussion of Python's core packaging tools > like distutils.
