I'm pretty sure the license file is something you copy into your home
directory yourself -- so just like any other file you put on your machine,
precautions should be taken to make sure only those authorized should be
able to view the file.
The only thing I'd possibly recommend to the vendor would be to note this in
the instructions sent with the license file...
