Now I may be biased as I have many licenses (pilot license, ameture radio operator license, drivers license etc.)
I truly believe license can be a force for good in certain circumstances and would love to hear your opinion/feedback.
Having a license to prove competence, isn't a problem. When done with that intent is a responsible and easy approach.
Having a license to do something in order to make something a paid privilege isn't great. But it is not a big problem.
Having a license as a sole means of taxing someone is a problem and should be avoided.
