I have discovered that this needs explaining.  Sorry.

On this side of the pond we have two words, a NOUN "licence" and a 
VERB "license".  On that side of the pond there is just one word, license, 
which does double duty.

"Everyone" knows that the Americans can't spell colour; so I thought 
that "everyone" knew that Americans can't spell Driving Licence.
