+Subject: [PATCH] add the vendored hiredis licence next to the package's own
+
+Upstream-Status: To upstream [not yet submitted; the same gap exists in every hiredis wheel on PyPI, so this needs a maintainer discussion rather than a drive-by PR]
+
+setup.py compiles vendor/hiredis (hiredis v1.4.1, BSD 3-clause) straight
+into the hiredis.hiredis extension, and that licence requires the
+copyright notice to be reproduced with binary redistributions.  The wheel
+ships only the package's own MIT LICENSE: setuptools globs license files
+from the project root, and vendor/hiredis/COPYING is not there.
+
+Add the vendored notice at the root as LICENSE.hiredis, which the default
+LICEN[CS]E* glob picks up, so it lands in dist-info/licenses/ beside
+LICENSE with no packaging change.
+
