Description
The wheel distributed on PyPI for version 25.12.19 that is available at https://pypi.org/project/flatbuffers/
does not include the LICENSE file.
Steps to verify:
1. pip download flatbuffers==25.12.19
2. unzip -l flatbuffers-25.12.19-py2.py3-none-any.whl | grep LICENSE
3. No LICENSE file found
Expected: LICENSE should be included in the wheel's .dist-info directory.
Using this wheel in a different project would violate Apache 2.0 license distribution requirements.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running `pip download flatbuffers==25.12.19`, then inspect the repository's Python packaging configuration and the generated wheel contents. The issue is complete when the wheel's `.dist-info` directory contains LICENSE and the reported verification command finds it.
