Its not a "license".  You can't sell, or offer to sell a device subject 
to the FCC regs in the US without either marking (in a rules-compliant 
manner) the FCC compliance information (not all devices are 
"certified"), or affixing a label that says, "this device is not 
FCC-certified, and is not offered for sale", in order to even *show* one 
at a venue such as a trade show.

Violation is subject to a fine of up to $10,000 per occurrence.

Personally, I get a 'vibe' that Sean doesn't think the phone will sell 
(at least for a while) in the US... for whatever reason.
