From the C&D: "Consumers obtain said devices, free of charge, either through U.S. postal mail or by picking them up at multiple retail locations throughout the State of Illinois." Seems like the real issue may be the "free of charge" part. No charge, no sales tax revenue for the State of Illinois. Maybe I'm too cynical, but I can see this as a bureaucratic rationale.

Pretty much every state has similar licenses to the Illinois license. Square will have to apply for them in all of those states eventually. They're just being cheap and playing chicken with regulators so they can delay as long as possible to avoid the financial impact of compliance.
