Thanks for this PR! I really like your new descriptions of why to use classifiers, even without licenses.
The license metadata field used to be overloaded to mean two different things at the same time, depending on the type of value. Those meanings have been divided between two distinct fields and we should be explicit about that.
Update use of "license = ..." key to use short reference. See pyOpenSci#557 for discussion
- aim to be clear that pyproject.toml license entry is a "short code" or reference to the choice of license - add note on and link to SPDX expressions for precision - add sentence on license-files key for completeness
