Licensed means that a company or publisher outside Japan (usually North American) has gain the right to sell certain anime that is licensed.

Copy-pasted from elsewhere:

What is licensed anime?
Licensed anime is any series or movie (part or whole) for which the rights to publish the anime in a specific area have been bought. Simply put, if a company buys the rights to put an anime series or movie on TV and/or release it on DVD in the USA (in English), that anime series or movie is considered licensed anime. Note that of course it's also possible for anime series and movies to be licensed in other areas (such as Europe). Such licenses usually involve publishing in languages other than English though and therefore are of no interest to us.

The original purpose of fansubs
As recent as about 10 to 15 years ago anime was not easy to get outside of Asia. The few anime companies that existed could only bring out a few titles as they lacked the funds and the market for licensing more shows. To get more anime and also to encourage certain titles to get licensed in the US, some anime fans started to make fansubs: series which were taped of Japanese television with subtitles added. These fansubs were distributed on VHS tape. One of the self imposed rules the fansub groups adapted was that once a series was licensed in the US, distribution of the fansub should stop. After all, the fansub had served it's purpose.

Of course it is in violation of copyright legislation in most countries to copy anime without the explicit permission from the original copyright holder even before it is licensed. The key difference is that Japanese companies very rarely bother to stop it.
To download the DVD rips you should visit the website or IRC channel of the respective group that did the ripping.

That's when you go and find out every group that was subbing, and see which ones AREN'T stopping. And you continue to download from them.

Usually groups will stop putting out torrent files, but will continue in IRC. So you best get learning fast, woman!
