Thomas Heller points out:

Playing with the new meta info, I noticed that the
license specified in this way:
 
setup(..., license="MIT/X11", ...)
 
isn't recognized, while it works if one uses:
 
setup(..., licence="MIT/X11", ...)

BTW; according to www.opensource.org the MIT license
seems to be spelled MIT license nowadays, no longer
MIT/X11 license.

andrew, were you going to fix this before 2.1?

No, I wasn't planning to.

Fixed in revision 1.48 of dist.py.  I've also edited PEP 
241 to just say "MIT license".
