That is correct. In standard (British :-) English, licence is the noun
and license is the verb.

I think that if a corporation has multiple people actively working on
the map, that's fair enough - multiple votes. I don't think you'd have
more scope for sockpuppetry than you might with normal users. ("Hey, I
can get 12 votes instead of 1 by editing with a different account every
month...") Well, perhaps it would be harder to detect because you'd
_expect_ them all to have the same IP...
