Could we decide on whether it’s ‘licence’ or ‘license’ ?
In the UK licence is a noun and license a verb.

The ‘King’s English’ doesn’t sound quite right.
Must be all those years in school and having the Queen’s English mentioned so much.
Oh, those happy schooldays...

I think you can get LS3/5a licenses down the Post Office.

LS3/5A is a registered trademark of the BBC:

Makes me think of Dolby. Every (nearly) cassette deck since the early 1970's had it. In the beginning it was a valid patent, every deck manufacturer had to pay Dolby 1 dollar (I think) per unit sold. They also had to make or buy the circuit/chip as it wasn't supplied by Dolby. After 17 years the patent wasn't valid anymore. Then the manufacturers had to pay Dolby 1/2 a dollar to put the trade marked double D label on the deck!
Now that's smart business!

You also could only buy the Signetics NE545B compander IC if you were a Dolby licensee

Unicorns fart glitter.
The BBC are mssng a trick. Imagine the desirability of speakers that actually had that badge on the front with a nice marketing backstory, entirely made in England, xlr connectors, branded cables to match.
