Lawyers are creative but judges are also usually pretty smart. They're quite capable of ruling that "if it looks like a sale and it acts like a sale, it's a sale" even if it's structured as a license.

Which is why the EU has legislation governing consumer contracts, requiring that the contract be written in plain language etc.
