You could claim anything is a license. But if you pay for it upfront (not regularly), it doesn't expire...it's not really a license.

Kind of the like the old statement that about ducks...if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...

Which is what Elfwreck was saying...
Just curious about how something has to expire to be a license. I looked up afew definitions and cannot find in commonly used dictionaries, wikipedia etc. that a license has to expire, or even that it usually expires
