In the USA they use "license" as a noun. Since computer software comes with a licence for you to use it, this is commonly misspelled as license.
That said, is the GNU 'License' invalid in the UK since it is spelled wrongly? Can we correct the spelling and add this corrected version of this licence to our Moodle Themes?
Just a thought...

In British English, both are valid: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/licence & http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/license - So looks legally valid, but I'm not a lawyer though.
But in British English, is LICENCE still a noun?
Yes, licence is still a noun according to links above.

In the UK :
licence = noun
license = verb
in the USA: (they are just plain lazy)
license = verb or noun
