A license, (or less commonly licence), is a document or agreement giving permission to do something.

The holder of a copyright may often require that a license is accepted in as a condition of being allowed to reproduce the copyrighted work. This is common in computer software.

License is also a state of liberty, and is sometimes used as a synonym for licentiousness.
