    copyright(n.) c. 1729, “the exclusive right to make and sell copies of an intellectual production,”

    license(v.) c. 1400, “grant formal authorization to do what would be illegal to do without it,”

    Yeah… I don’t think you are right about that…

      I don’t really see what that has to do with what I said? Unless you are saying that licenses exist for other things than copyright (in response to “licenses are a copyright concept”). That’s definitely true, I oversimplified to make my point, but I’m also pretty sure that copyright licenses are the only kind of license that are relevant here in the first place.
