Explanation
A license is a personal, revocable permission to use another's land for a specific purpose — it is NOT an interest in land and does NOT run with the land. Unlike an easement (which is an interest in property), a license can be revoked at any time by the landowner. If the licensor sells the property, the license typically terminates. Licenses are informal and do not need to comply with deed formalities.
