[W. Yip]

Sorry. Some dreadful typos in the following paragraph I fortunately noticed
and have corrected.

Example of overlap; You own land. You build a cinema on it. You show movies
in the cinema. You sell movie tickets. A person who buys the movie ticket
has contractual license. He has entered into a contractual relationship.
You have the obligation of letting him see the movie. He has the obligation
of paying for the ticket. Concurrently, the movie ticket also gives him the
license to enter your land, into your cinema to watch the movie. If  you
(cinema owner) ask him to leave at some point before he finishes the movie,
you may be liable in damages for contractual breach. As far as the license
(permission) is concerned, you have revoked it, provided you have given
adequate and reasonable notice.
