I'd say cert, not license. I don't think anyone should have to pass a LeetCode exam to professionally code. But otherwise a good idea.

Sure, I'm using them interchangeably to mean an "officially-decided standard that allows you to not have to retake the same interview at every company." Whether that standard is created by some sort of industry consortium, the IEEE or ACM, CS academia, or some combination thereof, is left as an exercise to the discourse.

A cert provides formal evidence, but a license grants permission you wouldn’t otherwise have.
