Ships which carried such a license were technically not pirates at all; they were called "privateers". The license was known as a "letter of marque". Several nations historically issued these (including the United States, in a time period after the movies; it is one of the rights of a sovereign nation asserted in the Declaration of Independence and was used in the two wars against Great Britain); they authorized the ship to prey upon ONLY the ships of enemy nations during time of war.

What does a skull with wings mean?
To me it means a few things combined. The crow represents the bird that was forgotten. A sense of failure, like in the old testiment when Noah sent out a raven and it never returned failing its test, while the dove succeeded and has been long remembered. The skull represents death, whether it be a near death experience or a struggle, or a loved one lost. I have that tattooed with roses underneath to represent the hope you can have by overcoming your struggles. I battled through thoughts of suicide and my tattoo of the crow on top of the skull with roses is a reminder that though I've struggled with thoughts of suicide and failed so many times there's always hope for the ones who have had it rough.

Arabella Drummond appears in listings of pirates from Blackbeard's time period. Some stories have her as a lost lover of Blackbeard, sailing the seven seas in search of him. Others say that she was the first, and regrettably last, female pirate captain of an all male crew. There is strong evidence towards her being captain of an all male crew. I, personally , believe that she was a strong, indapendent woman, more than capable of commanding a crew consisting of males.
