[Distutils] license for setuptools

[Chris Barker]

it looks like the OP is looking for the license to setuptools, not
matplotlib.

(MPL's licence file is here:
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/LICENSE/LICENSE)

but setuptools does not appear to have one:

https://github.com/pypa/setuptools

and it is a pypa package, so this is kind the right list for it -- though
I"d post an issue on gitHub.

BTW, I notice that the Python Packaging User Guide doesn't recommend a
LICENSE file -- it probably should.

NOTE to the OP: almost every python package depends on setuptools, so this
really has nothing to do with Matplotlib :-)
