> Intent matters very much in the legal profession. For crimes it's called mens rea. In tort law it's a lesser issue, but, for example, you can find issues of intent all over the place in contract law.

the "legal profession" is a joke. laws mean what they say. licenses mean what they say. if you don't believe in the rule of law, fine, i'll agree that to you it would fail the "reasonable person" test. but to me saying that the license means something other than what it says because what it says doesn't reflect the intent fails the "reasonable person" test.
if the license doesn't reflect the intent, they should fix the license, not just decide later that the license doesn't mean what it says.

given what you wrote, i'd say that you'd say the answer is no.
