Nobody here is doubting that. Your parent comment said:

> I have no idea what the licensing weight the associated fields in setup.py carry

That's a valid concern. I had the same question myself.



The relevant weight is: if the author of the copyrighted work sues you in a court of law, will the evidence convince the judge that the author gave you permission to do so?


That assumes you are willing to pay for lawyers. If not, the relevant weight is "will the author (or any subsequent copyright owners) sue you".


If I sued you for wearing green pants, would you stop wearing green pants?
