dictionary.com lists "licence" as a variant of "license"
according to The
American Heritage Dictionary (go check, we'll wait). It's listed as
chiefly
British but both variants are commonly used in Australia (and, I suspect, 
Canada).

Inconsistent? Yes. Incorrect? No.

Both are considered correct depending on where you live.  It is like
whiningabout how one spells colour ('colour' vs 'color').I do
feel that we should be consistant.  *ALWAYS* use one or the other spelling,but I
have no feelings either way which one should be used.Lets face it.. English (in
it's many forms from Bastardized American tothe Queen's English) is just
a horriblely scattered language.=)

Licence is the correct spelling, as used in Britian, Australia and many other 
parts of the world.

We have no choice over the various spellings of "licence" in the file
either -
these are licences that we inherited from a number of developers. We do not have
the legal right to change these in any way.
