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

Now that's smart business!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!
You also could only buy the Signetics NE545B compander IC if you were a Dolby licenseeThey also had to make or buy the circuit/chip as it wasn't supplied by Dolby.
