| Phrase | license |
| Text | The word "license," in this podcast, means legal permission to have or do something: "How much does a fishing license cost?" Or, "Is it difficult to get a business license from the city?" Sometimes the word "license" refers to the small card or other piece of paper that proves one is allowed to do something: "Maria had to show a copy of their marriage license when she wanted to change her last name." When talking about software, a "license" is permission for one person to use the software: "The software company charges an upfront cost of $15,000, plus a license fee of $45 per user." Finally, the phrase "poetic license" or "artistic license" refers to one's ability to use imagination and change the truth a little bit for artistic or creative reasons: "Francesca writes historical fiction, but she takes some artistic license to make the stories more interesting." |
