In the United States of America, this man has absolutely no right to regulate the FREE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION. Bits of math data being exchanged, that's all Bitcoin is. That is obvious impingement of free speech protected by the US constitution.
The bans on cryptography export and the persecution of Phil Zimmerman in the 90s was a more aggressive impingement of free speech than the bitlicense. The constitution didn't protect us then it then and it won't protect us now.
Bitcoin is a global movement involving hundreds of thousands of American citizens. That's very much an apples to oranges comparison.
They are always trying to use their tired old tactic of making "high profile examples" to frighten the rest of the herd. They did it to Phil Zimmerman, they did it to Bernard Von Nothaus, Julian Assange, and more recently Andrea Sanderlin, Anakata, Manning, Snowden, Ross Ulbricht, and Charlie Shrem.
