From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  LICENTIOUSNESS. The doing what one pleases without regard to the rights of 
  others; it differs from liberty in this, that the latter is restrained by 
  natural or positive law, and consists in doing whatever we please, not 
  inconsistent, with the rights of others, whereas the former does not respect 
  those rights. Wolff, Inst. Sec. 84.
