from Thefreedictionary.com's legal dictionary [1]:
License: The permission granted by competent authority to exercise a certain privilege that, without such authorization, would constitute an illegal act, a Trespass or a tort. The certificate or the document itself that confers permission to engage in otherwise proscribed conduct.
let's think about that: Driving is illegal. Marriage is illegal. Fishing is illegal.
