A Letter of Marque, Don't Leave Home Without It. It is What Separates Government Authorization from Piracy. Yes I've Sailed Under the Jolly Roger, I'm a Shellback.

Thanks PO1 William "Chip" Nagel for reminding us about the Letter of Marque which in theory distinguished privateers sailing and fighting for a crown from simple pirates.
