A license document is a legal agreement that grants permission to use a product, service, or piece of intellectual property. In English, the term for a license document is simply "license." For example, you might have a license for software, a license for using a trademark, or a license for using a piece of music in a film or television show. The terms of a license document typically outline the rights and obligations of the person or entity using the product or service, as well as the rights and obligations of the owner of the product or service.
