I'm far from being an expert in Engish's etimology, but with a little 
help of a dictionary, It seems that the English word "licence"  comes 
from the word "licence" which appeared in the French language in the 
XIIth century.

When it crossed the Channel, the noun "licence" was kept unchanged, but 
strangely enough, the verb made out of it became "to license". Some time 
later, when both words crossed the Atlantic, some kind of simplification 
was made and both noun and verb became spelled the same way.

Thus "the licence" is UK English, "the license" is US English.

Roland.
