Susie commented to the effect that LICENSE is an acceptable variant spelling of LICENCE.

It seems she was confused. LICENCE is the noun and LICENSE is the verb.

Though I've since discovered that Lexico also gives LICENCE as an acceptable variant spelling of the verb. Weird.

Agree Susie said the wrong thing about the US spelling of LICENSE as a verb, but I’m also wondering if there’s just an error on ODO:

license
Pronunciation: /ˈlʌɪsns/
( British also licence)
VERB

It should be ( US also licence) on the page; can’t see any instance of LICENCE as a verb being the British spelling. Do ODO know something we don’t?
