Doc/license files installed directly in site-packages about asyncmy

What's the trouble?

The top-level site-packages directory isn’t specific to asyncmy, so it’s a confusing place to install documentation, and there will be conflicts with other packages that do the same thing (usually by accident).

This is relatively harmless when pip-installing into a virtualenv, as any packages that do this will just keep overwriting each other’s files. Still, files that are distribu ted and then overwritten aren’t doing any good. For Linux distribution packaging, it’s necessary for the packager to work around this behavior to avoid conflicts in the system site-packages.

For these reasons, normally it would make sense to let Poetry automatically include the LICENSE file in the .dist-info, and let the other files be sdist only. That would look like:

include = [
    { path = "CHANGELOG.md", format = "sdist" },
    { path = "README.md", format = "sdist" },
]

You certainly don’t have to change it if you don’t want to, though.
