Hi mentors,
I've ported CMUCL to debian (I've made packages but would like
to experiment a little more), and now I'm looking into then licenses
of some other add-ons I would like to package. Could you tell me if they
are all right?
First of all defsystem (a make-like system for lisp):

This looks pretty non-free right?
And what about cl-http (a webserver for lisp)?
