Footnote 3:See e.g. Greenwood L. & P. J. R. Co. v NY & G. L. R. Co., 134 NY 435, 440 [1892] ["A license is a personal, revocable and non-assignable privilege, conferred either by writing or parol, to do one or more acts upon land without possessing any interest therein." (internal citations omitted)]; see also American Jewish Theatre, Inc. v Roundabout Theatre Co., Inc., 203 AD2d 155 [1st Dept 1994] ["The nature of the transfer of absolute control and possession is what differentiates a lease from a license or any other arrangement dealing with property rights. Whereas a license connotes use or occupancy of the grantor's premises, a lease grants exclusive possession of designated space to a tenant, subject to rights specifically reserved by the lessor. The former is cancellable at will, and without cause. Where one party's interest in another's real property exists for a fixed term, not revocable at will, and terminable only on notice, a landlord-tenant relationship has been created." (internal citations omitted)].
