A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “permissive” refers to something that is allowed or permitted, but not required. It indicates that a particular action or behavior is not mandatory, but is within the bounds of what is acceptable or permissible under the law.
Example: The permissive zoning laws allowed for a wide range of commercial activities to take place in the designated area.
