This is a follow up on the discussion in python/peps#4299.
I basically extracted the existing text, but tried to make it slightly more generic so that it is not tied to
license-files
and can be reused somewhere else. Then I added a reference implementation based on @cdce8p's contribution to Setuptools.It seems that other PEPs in writing are looking into using the same glob definition, so that would also be a good reason for the extraction.
Closes python/peps#4299
