Not according to PEP 241: "License: A string selected from a short
list of choices, specifying the license covering the package."

Proposed text:

    Download-URL
   =20
      A string containing the URL from which this version of the package=20
      can be downloaded.  (This means that the URL can't be something like
      ".../package-latest.tgz", but instead must be "../package-0.45.tgz".)
