I think the issue here is not your use of the "license" field (though using the 
classifier-like syntax there is dubious), but the fact that you are specifying 
an invalid classifier. The valid classifiers are enumerated, you can find them 
here: https://pypi.org/classifiers/

I think the classifier you want is `License :: Other/Proprietary License`, but 
you can choose the most appropriate one from the list.
