All licenses are contracts.
The distinguishing feature between a contract and a (public) license is that a contract is a negotiated agreement between parties who are in contact with each other. A public license is one-way; people who want to use the rights it grants abide by its provisions, but they don't have a negotiated deal with the licensor.
