Nick Boldt closed JBIDE-14712.

    Resolution: Rejected


No, it shouldn't. Both spellings are valid:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License
http://www.future-perfect.co.uk/grammartips/grammar-tip-license-licence.asp

These files were copied in from the original providers VERBATIM, using their spelling convention, and I'm not about to tell them they have to adhere to American English conventions, since I myself do not. 

I may be neighbo*u*r to the US, but the rest of the former British colonies are all horses of a different colo*u*r. And we have licences, not licenses.
