US English appears to use the words almost interchangably, but at least in
British English `licence' is a noun, and `license' a verb. From that point
of view, I'd personally prefer `licence' when referring to the document(s).


http://dict.leo.org says:
US: the license, to license
GB: the licence, to licence

Anyway, unifying wording and spelling is necessary. What is the standardfor debian/EN, US or GB?
