Buy want you want, don't worry about the FCC license.
I have had a FCC license since 1984 (IIRC - yep, just checked). It is a piece of cheap yellow paper that says it is a Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit and that it never expires, but that it may be revoked if I'm a bad boy. FYI, this license used to be required for a pilot to use the aircraft radios. I don't think it is required now, unless the aircraft is operated outside the US. I never had a student apply for a permit when I was an instructor.
In the 22 years I have had this license, I have never been asked by anyone from any government agency to show this license. In fact, the only organization that has asked to see it is my current employer. I think that I'm required to have the license to meet current International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) rules. I occasionally fly outside the US, so I guess I must adhere to ICAO rules.
So, yank off the tinfoil hat and get those radios.
