It occurred to me that we should support dynamic license field because a user project might either bundle or link to a library which would change the license metadata. A tricky point would be how to indicate different licenses for sdist and wheel that could occur on PyPI. This seems like it would require a PEP enhancement on top of PEP639.

I believe this is possible with dynamic-metadata (we need to work on finishing that project, actually, probably should be another "before 1.0" target). It's also something that comes up with SBOM's (PEP 770), and I think it's the same solution, use the Dynamic field of METADATA 2.2+.

Ah, ok so for PEP770 it adds a Sbom-File to PKG-INFO and .dist-info. That should also solve the SourceLicense vs License distinction. Dynamic field for license would work having different values in the PKG-INFO vs .dist-info/METADATA?
