Hm... PEP 621 deliberately doesn't have a replacement for `setuptools`'s `license`, but they do have a `license` key that is equivalent to `license_files`. Unfortunately, this is what PyPI does with the data in that field:
Not great.
@pganssle Aha, I'm using Hatchling which uses SPDX identifiers:

Which points to the draft #PEP639 – "Improving License Clarity with Better Package Metadata":
https://peps.python.org/pep-0639/
Hopefully it'll be submitted soon. 🤞
@hugovk Either way it's a huge footgun. The thing everyone is going to think to do causes this problem.
