In responding to this question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62587294/nightly-build-doesnt-acquire-mosek-license/62613736#62613736
I went to look for the place in the documentation, or an open issue, that I could cite. I didn't find one.

https://drake.mit.edu/doxygen_cxx/group__solvers.html says SNOPT is provided in the binary release, but I didn't see anywhere we say that Gurobi and Mosek are not.

Is it written somewhere? If not, can we add it?

No I don't think it is written anywhere. We should probably add it in https://drake.mit.edu/from_binary.html

I've added this to the #13539 Epic.

As far as the Stack Overflow question goes, I guess pydrake.solvers.mosek.MosekSolver.AcquireLicense().is_valid() returning False is technically correct, but maybe it is not the most user friendly outcome?

@RussTedrake this is captured under umbrella #13539 which is on deck on the build system, continuous integration, distribution board, so I'm removing it from the improve pydrake documentation user experience board.

The place to mention this is probably the four pages linked from https://drake.mit.edu/installation.html (at the "Stable" links), as well as the https://drake.mit.edu/doxygen_cxx/group__solvers.html overview.
