Use MANIFEST.in to include LICENSE in the source distribution. The wheel package format supports including the license file. This is done using the [metadata] section in the setup.cfg file. For additional information on this feature, see: https://wheel.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html#including-the-license-in-the-generated-wheel-file
