CI is broken because of setuptools

[KapJI]

The problem

@cdce8p it looks to me that broken CI is caused by setuptools 56.2.0 and pypa/setuptools#2640 specifically. Should we downgrade setuptools?

@KapJI Thanks for notifying me! I'll take a look, but for now a temporary downgrade would be the way to go, I guess.

[cdce8p]

With pypa/setuptools#2640 any install from a source distribution will fail if the license field is not string formatted, which it should be.

The issue here is with freesms as the license is of type bytes and not string. I opened a PR upstream to fix it: bfontaine/freesms#7

I suspect this might not be the only occurrence. Will we see.

Just checked, freesms is the only issue. So we should be able to move to 56.2.0 once the PR is merged.
