There is no difference between the US English and British English definitions of this word. If you are aware of one, please post it. That is distinct from what situations you may apply the word to, but again I suspect there is no difference.
How some US citizens consider the morals of their driving license (if any do, which I rather doubt) is irrelevant. A US license means an entitlement to drive, unless an offence causes the entitlement to be revoked. Lack of such, on the part of a legal or illegal immigrant or a Mom And Apple Pie American, revoked or otherwise, represents no such entitlement.
I'm not sure where that semantic sideroad appeared from, or why, or for that matter why I responded to it, which I'll probably regret given the history of this thread.
