2. license (noun) — sense 2

Definition: The legal terms under which a person is allowed to use a product, especially software.

Example: Thus, while the license will grant the user the right to use the software, a major concern is the scope of that use. For example, will the user be granted the right to copy, modify, or transfer the software?

3. license (noun) — sense 3

Example: In some instances, the author took license to include events which never happened, or to purposely create events which may run in the face of popular conjecture if the author felt it would help the story along.
