Description
I may be wrong, but assuming "license-file" is set in setup.cfg because someone wanted to include the license with wheel distributions, it should be changed to "license_file" instead, as per the wheel docs.

I removed "license-file" from setup.cfg, generated a wheel, and saw that LICENSE.txt is no longer present in the .dist-info directory of the wheel. I guess either license-file or license_file are acceptable values.
