A take off is a take off.

So why is someone with only a license to fly an airplane not allowed to take
off in a helicopter?

Non sequitur.

Your claim was that gliders don't take off.

Obviously they do.

So by your logic if the engine at the end of the rope quites, there is
no problem because it isn't directly bolted to the glider?

There is no engine at the end of the rope; there's another aircraft at the end
of the rope.

The recovery technique for a glider is different from that for a powered
airplane. It's as simple as that.

OK, let's analyze both situations:

In a powered aircraft, the engine fails, you establish best glide and
look for a place to land.

In a glider, the tow engine fails, you release the tow rope, establish best
glide and look for a place to land.

Yep, totally different.
