LambdaCore has copyright problems.  It was written by a large number of
pseudonymous people, many of whom could probably not be identified even
by their pseudonyms now.  Most of them never granted explicit
licenses for the use of their work.  And most of it was done after 1988,
when copyright became automatic in the US.

Unfortunately, jhcore, encore, and ghostcore are all based on lambdacore,
and inherit the same copyright problems.

Presumably since LambdaCore has been released for years, the denizens of LambdaMOO
who wrote it are mostly OK with it.  But they didn't actually grant any licenses,
and we don't actually know whether they are all OK with it.

Accordingly, I request that this mass of orphaned packages be removed.

(The lambdamoo server is still usable with the 'minimal' core database, and the
server has had its copyright and licensing handled carefully, so it's OK.  However,
anyone choosing to adopt it should be warned about the core databases.)
