+Subject: [PATCH] setup.py: drop data_files, installs LICENSE to incorrect
+ place
+
+As reported in issue
+https://github.com/xmlrunner/unittest-xml-reporting/issues/284, the
+data_files statement in the setup() calls installs the LICENSE file in
+the wrong place: in /usr/LICENSE, or even /LICENSE depending on the
+configuration.
+
+So let's drop this, and let setuptools install the LICENSE file
+automatically: since setuptools v56, the license_files attribute is
+automatically assigned to a default value, which includes "LICENSE",
+so there is in fact nothing to do to the get the LICENSE file
+installed at the correct location. See
+https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/history.html#v56-0-0.
