Description
The license command from site looks in lib/.., lib or . for the license file to display. With the .NET global tool install the LICENSE is not in one of those folders.
We get:
>>> license
See https://www.python.org/psf/license/
instead of the expected:
>>> license
Type license() to see the full license text
This works as expected for the msi install. Did not check the behaviour of the other installs...

Research direction
Start at the license command from site and compare how it searches lib/.., lib, and . under the .NET global tool install versus the msi install. Reproduce the command in both installation types and adjust the license-file lookup so the global tool displays the full license text rather than the PSF URL.
