This commit updates setup.py to resolve build-time warnings and errors under setuptools>=80, which now deprecates the use of license classifiers for identifying the license of a project.
Changes:
Replaced the deprecated license classifier License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License with a valid license="MIT" field using an SPDX license identifier.
Motivation:
Under Python 3.12 and modern setuptools, building the package triggered the following warning, which can escalate to build failures in strict environments:
setuptools.warnings.SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: License classifiers are deprecated.
Please consider removing the following classifiers in favor of a SPDX license expression:
License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License
Replacing the license classifier with the SPDX-compliant license="MIT" field aligns the project with modern packaging standards and prevents the warning from interrupting builds.
