I resent this word "License"

If I am licensing something it means I have not purchased it.
I do not own it. I am "renting" it.

Therefore, why do I have to pay purchase tax on it when I first buy the damn thing?

I have a driver's license - I paid no purchase tax on it.
I have a TV license - no purchase tax payable - a yearly fee to the BBC only which is not purchase tax.
If I rent a house or apartment I pay rent but no tax - The Landlord has to pay income tax only.

“When liberty becomes license, dictatorship is near” (Will Durant).
