FWIW you can sometimes get more detailed information from the classifiers:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=list_classifiers

E.g.

  setup(...
      licence='GPL',
      classifiers=[
          ...,
          'License :: OSI Approved :: GNU General Public License v2 or later (GPLv2+)',
          ...
      ])
