  Perhaps where you live.

    Out of curiosity: where do you live where listening on ham requires a license?

    In the US and other countries I am aware of, listening is allowed without a license (how would one even enforce such a thing?). In fact, you can even transmit on a ham radio in the US without a license provided there is an immediate risk to life or property.

      What if the “laws aren’t the same” remark was about “you can’t transmit without a permit”? Not about the “you need license to listen”?

        Could be. I expect the commenter would clarify.

    Early evening in the western hemisphere, OP posted a large sum of perfectly native fluency English, so yeah, I’ll assume US or Canada. Can’t have a conversation without making reasonable assumptions. But please, feel free to add to the conversation, where do some of these exceptions exist? Don’t just “um, actually” the conversation, add to it!
