+Subject: [PATCH] pyproject: ship LICENSE*
+
+scikit-build-core's cmake.version key is already used as of this release
+(the deprecated cmake.minimum-version issue tracked as gotcha/Issue #22 no
+longer applies), but the sdist still declares no license-files, so a
+LICENSE.openblas staged beside the project's own LICENSE (for the OpenBLAS
+the Linux wheel dynamically links) is not packaged into dist-info/licenses/.
+Declare it explicitly.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [riscv64-wheel-only concern: only our build vendors OpenBLAS via auditwheel, upstream ships no such wheel]
