i would appreciate if you explained where my reasoning about Magna Carta 
and the whims of rulers is false. it is from memory of history lessons 
taken 30 years ago so it could well be thast i am mistaken.

once corrected, then i would hopefully be able to understand your 
explanation about the license, an explanation which i currently do not 
see what it has to do with my reasoning.
