Until PEP 639 is finalized, many projects rely on the output of License in PKG-INFO being an SPDX string, if it is using a standard license, and third party tooling can process that. Rather than silently ignoring license.text, use that to populate the License field if it is provided, and leave it to downstream packages as to whether they are supplying license.file or license.text
