Hi Chris: No, I don't think it's /wrong/ per se, but the way restlet routing works is "greedy" or something. I don't understand it that well...I just know that when I did the same thing you did, I also had the same problem too. It just seems like when you pass URIs with more than one or two segments to router.attach() it doesn't do what you think it should. Probably has something to with matching the correct route when the request comes in. Maybe Jerome or Thierry can chime in with a more authoritative explanation, sorry...
And yes, keep the resources separate because they probably have different /representations/. I don't know anything about your system, but I imagine that what you return about whether a license is valid or not is going to be different than what you'll return about the usage of a license. Each aspect of the nouns you work with should probably be modeled with a different resource in order to handle that aspect.
