After seeing [yet another licensing question][1] I'm wondering whether I'm right in thinking they should be closed. While it can be difficult or slow getting answers for technical questions from the vendors, software companies, etc., surely questions about licensing should always be directed to the supplier of those licenses. To complicate things further, many licenses vary significantly from place to place, so the question may also be too localised. 

So, should licensing question be closed as off-topic or left alone, often to get some misleading and even downright incorrect answers because the answer doesn't apply to the OP's part of the world?
