+Subject: [PATCH] setup.py: drop data_files, installs LICENSE to incorrect
+ place
+
+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.
