I notice that Bill has changed the spelling of licences to the American version.
Wikipedia's style guide says that an individual article should stay in one national variant of English and if someone starts it in one variant it should be edited to remain in that variant ... on the other hand I've tried to fit in with the whole site's spelling of "Program" rather than cause alarum and consternation with "Pocket Programme".
