Missing License metadata in pip package

Running pip show genomedata after a successful pip installation yields:

#!text

Name: genomedata
Version: 1.4.4
Summary: tools for accessing large amounts of genomic data
Home-page: http://pmgenomics.ca/hoffmanlab/proj/genomedata/
Author: Michael Hoffman
Author-email: michael.hoffman@utoronto.ca
License: UNKNOWN
Location: /home/cviner2/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Requires: numpy, tables, six, textinput, path.py

As seen above, the "License" metadata field incorrectly states that it is UNKNOWN.

This might be due to Python packages apparently ignoring tags and requiring a dedicated license attribute.
