License not packaged in pypi release

[cshaley]

The license states that it should be packaged in all distributions of the package, but it is not packaged in the pypi release. I only realized this because I am in the process of packaging bonarytree for conda forge.

Right... if I remember correctly I was not packaging it correctly for earlier distributions. I will take a look tonight and see if removing the older distributions from pypi fixes the issue. Thanks!

@cshaley I've removed all the older distributions from pypi. Let me know if that fixes things. What issue are you having exactly?

I believe you need to add a MANIFEST.in to the package:

[joowani]

Thanks @synapticarbors. I will take a look and add it.

@joowani FYI, this is not a technical issue so much as a legal one. Best practice is to always package the license with the software. Not as big of a deal for something that uses the MIT license as it could be for a package with a custom/pay-for-play license.

@cshaley I believe I've corrected the issue. Please let me know if you see any other problems. Thanks!
