    It feels like they’re using the definition/use case of software licensing and applying it to motor vehicles. As in, “If I have to get a license from you, then you are the owner and I am just the licensee”.

    Its a bonkers misapplication of the word, but that never stops a Sovcit.

      actually, that usage makes sense if you realize that you’re licensing the roads, not the car.

          Oh I’m not defending the Sovcit in the slightest. I’m just pointing out that the license still works in the same way as a software license, but the license is for the roads.
