Licence vs License

Licence vs License

Licence: freedom, permission or authorization (noun)

By substituting licence with papers as form of noun we can distinguish

For e.g.:

1. I got my driving licence yesterday.

2. We should get treated by doctors with proper practicing license.

License: freedom or authorization but it is used as a verb

Substituting license with allow in any of its form and getting a meaningful sentence can help in distinguishing from licence.

For e.g.:

1. Freedom does not give us license to do things as we wish.

2. This library does not license use of phones in its premises.
