This only concerns the metadata information for the Python package, picked up by e.g. PyPI. Currently, the valid SPDX license expression we provide in the license field isn't properly understood and displayed as a "proprietary or other" license. We hope that with these classifiers, this display will be closer to the truth.

Currently, the license on our PyPI package site is labelled as "Other/Proprietary License (Apache-2.0 AND CC0-1.0 AND GPL-3.0-or-later)". It's obvious that PyPI doesn't understand SPDX expressions yet.
Therefore, this PR adds the used licenses to the package metadata. Unfortunately, there is no classifier for CC-BY-SA-4.0 but I figured it's better to have incomplete data than no data. I hope that it will at least remove the "proprietary" label.
Needless to say that the current system of expressing licenses is not satisfactory. There is PEP 639 which is still in discussion.
