It’s what both pip and setuptools use (though we embed it, but it’s fine

That's under Apache 2, so it can't be used by GPLv2 packages, or any package that might be used by GPLv2 packages.
I suspect it’d be trivial to relicense it. There’s a total of 6 contributors and I think I know how to get ahold of all of them.
Presumably to MIT + ApacheV2 ?
