for django-cron library license showing UNKNOWN about pip-licenses HOT 2 CLOSED

pip-licenses is no license scanner, but a metadata parser. As the corresponding setup.py file does not have any license information, pip-licenses is not able to return a useful license here: https://github.com/Tivix/django-cron/blob/db653a292d7a6f78e7ed76d22b282371147aa48c/setup.py#L21-L42

If you want django-cron to be reported with the correct license, you should probably file an upstream report to add the correct field or trove classifier.
