Sure, but if you don't make your intentions clear from the start then there's no use complaining afterwards. Not quite an accurate analogy but here goes: "If you leave valuables around your house and leave the doors and windows unlocked you're not going to get much sympathy from the police (or the insurance company for that matter) when you get burgled." So, if you don't use a suitable license then you don't have a stick to beat someone with should it ever come to it. -- Crayon
