Well, I haven't seen anyone else post about this, so.
Usually when I play I'm one of those early-level-up nuts.
I like to get as many levels early on so I won't have to worry about it later.
However, I found that if I got Vaan to LVL10/15/20
BEFORE getting Penelo for the first time, that her license points (and all others after her) would be within such a high range that I could unlock
ALL of the license board.
(Note that this is with the exception of Vaan, but.. who actually plays as Vaan? Balthier. <3)
Now. This happens with me every time I start a new game.
(To be honest I find it disappointing because I like the whole grinding thing.)
However, it's a nice way to make your party strong early on and save you time fighting for skills.
