Those are contract lawsuits.

Are there any jurisdictions where a Software Engineer can lose their license?

It's essentially impossible for a lawyer to lose their license.

But they can. They can also have their license suspended.

Software Engineer on the other hand, is just a label that doesn't mean anything. AFAIK, no jurisdictions license Software Engineers. Unlike law, there's no punishment for working as a software engineer (although there are some jurisdictions where the title "Engineer" is regulated).

The last sentence should be:

Unlike practicing law, there's no punishment for working as a software engineer without a license.
