IANAL but I believe we need to ship the file, that's part of the license 
requirements for both GPL-2.0-or-later and BSD-2-Clause.

Can you try with a relative path, like ../../../ in front of Licenses?

If not enough, it's possible it's because it cannot read in parent 
directories? What if we have a symlink, does it copy the symlink or the 
target of the symlink?

Reading 
https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/miscellaneous.html, the 
license_files should then be automatically included in the sdist 
tarball, so the presence of the files in it shouldn't be an issue here.

Cheers,
Quentin
