Forged a licenced copy for comprehensive (13)
I believe the answer is:
encyclopaedic
'comprehensive' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'forged a licenced copy' is the wordplay.
'forged' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'licenced'+'copy'='alicencedcopy'
'alicencedcopy' anagrammed gives 'ENCYCLOPAEDIC'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Another definition for encyclopaedic that I've seen is " Comprehensive".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
