Grant freedom (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

licence

I believe this is a double definition.

'grant' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Grant of permission ' mean 'licence' so perhaps 'grant' could also mean 'licence')

'freedom' is the second definition.
(I know that licence is a type of freedom)

(Other definitions for licence that I've seen before include "See 1" , "Driving permit" , "A writer's exaggeration" , "Permit - excessive behaviour" , "Permit to operate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
