Subject: [PATCH 1/2] pyproject.toml: fix up license information
Without this change, the Python tooling complains that you
can't have both "license" and "license-files" settings in pyproject.toml.
This issue doesn't happen any more with the Python tooling
in master (as of August 2025), so it's irrelevant for upstream.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] pyproject.toml: relax setuptool version requirement
To match with what's available in Scarthgap
It turns out that setuptools 69 is sufficient for building this tool.
The developer may have aligned the version with his testing environment.
This patch is not needed on meta-openembedded master which has a recent enough
version.

SUMMARY = "A tool for checking the security hardening options of the Linux kernel"
DESCRIPTION = "\
There are plenty of security hardening options for the Linux kernel; Kconfig \
options (compile-time); Kernel cmdline arguments (boot-time); Sysctl \
parameters (runtime). A lot of them have to be enabled manually to make the \
system more secure which is difficult to track. This tool helps with this \
task by checking and reporting about the settings compared to a list of \
recommendation. \
