Yes.  ISTR that licence is a British English spelling, though my
British brain has been thoroughly contaminated by US spellings and
usage by now.  (Or are they like practice and practise, which (can)
mean subtly different things in British English (which few native
English speakers can keep straight, certainly not me...)?)

I will never pronounce thorough 'thurrow', though.  One must draw a
line.
