They are synonyms, so their meanings are similar and they both basically mean "permission." Merriam-Webster gives these definitions:
Leave
1 a: permission to do something b: authorized, especially extended absence from duty or employment
License
1 a: permission to act b: freedom of action
2 a: a permission granted by competent authority to engage in a business or occupation or in an activity otherwise unlawful b: a document, plate, or tag evidencing a license granted c: a grant by the holder of a copyright or patent to another of any of the rights embodied in the copyright or patent short of an assignment of all rights
3 a: freedom that allows or is used with irresponsibility b: disregard for standards of personal conduct :licentiousness
4: deviation from fact, form, or rule by an artist or writer for the sake of the effect gained
The main difference is that "license" has a strong nuance of "freedom" and "deviation," whereas "leave" has more of a military nuance. "Leave" also has an archaic quality or nuance when used in phrases like "you have my leave to do that," etc.
