I'm sure a few Brits have been dumbfounded by that one when validating 
their css! ;-)

Anyway its not internationalization I have a problem with its the 
definition not the two words I have problems with.

1, License is an action by the licensor giving permission to a licensee 
either verbally or some other form of communication typically in writing.

2 Licence is the actual document itself demonstrating those permissions 
such as a Drivers Licence.

 
I do think in order for the Licensing 
http://microformats.org/wiki/license discussion to progress fully it is 
very important to distinguish the difference between the two



Thanks
