Yes, most countries require a license: ultralight (ULM, microlight) in Europe, Sport Pilot in US, or private pilot licence (PPL). It depends on the rules / countries...
Yes, the Zenith STOL CH 701 has the distinction of being what is probably the most copied light aircraft in production... though they do say that imitation is a form of flattery (though we teach our kids not to mimic!)
@Cook1993 No it's required, just the ULM qualification required, and it's very easy to have

Once again mankind benefits by copying God's design. The extension on the leading edge of the wing is copied from the alula of a bird.

Birds can't have slots in their wings (or all the blood drains out). It was mankinds idea to make a slotted wing.

Awesome video! I just love the wording on the fuselage: "Zenair CH 701 / the original model" and "Zenair CH 701 / It's not a copy".

The 'it's not a copy' is in response to some eastern European companies making inferior unlicensed versions and even calling them CH701s.
