ANSI Common Lisp is a high-level, general-purpose programming
language.
GNU CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible of Karlsruhe
University and Michael Stoll of Munich University, both in Germany.
It mostly supports the Lisp described in the ANSI Common Lisp
standard.
It runs on most GNU and Unix systems (GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
OpenBSD,
Solaris, Tru64, HP-UX, BeOS, NeXTstep, IRIX, AIX, Mac OS X and others)
and on
other systems (Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista, Windows 95/98/ME) and needs
only
4 MB of RAM.
It is Free Software and may be distributed under the terms of GNU GPL,
while it is possible to distribute commercial proprietary applications
compiled with GNU CLISP.
The user interface comes in English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch,
Russian and Danish, and can be changed at run time.
GNU CLISP includes an interpreter, a compiler, a debugger, CLOS, MOP,
a foreign language interface, a socket interface, i18n, fast bignums
and more.
An X11 interface is available through CLX, Garnet, CLUE/CLIO.
GNU CLISP runs Maxima, ACL2 and many other Common Lisp packages.

User visible changes
--------------------
* Infrastructure:
+ Top-level configure now accepts a new option --vimdir which
specifies
the installation directory for the VIM files (lisp.vim).
The default value is ${datadir}/vim/vimfiles/after/syntax/.
Thus, lisp.vim is now installed by "make install", and should
be included in the 3rd party distributions.
+ Top-level configure now always runs makemake, and makemake no
longer is
a "user-level" command; do not run it unless you know what you are
doing.
This brings the CLISP build process in compliance with the GNU
standards.
+ We now use gnulib-tool to sync with gnulib (not really user
visible,
but a major infrastructure change).
* Portability:
+ Support for ancient systems with broken CPP have been dropped.
This includes AIX 4.2, Coherent386, Ultrix, MSVC4, MSVC5.
+ NeXT application (GUI) code has been removed. Plain TTY is still
supported.
* Module berkeley-db now supports Berkeley DB 4.5 & 4.6.
* Bug fixes:
+ FORCE-OUTPUT breakage on MacOS X when stdout is not a terminal.

+ Fixed *PRINT-PPRINT-DISPATCH* binding in WITH-STANDARD-IO-SYNTAX.

Haven't these guys ever heared about the problems of incest?
This is GPL incest and so it is a lossing game. GPL sucks and shows it
is a dead end.
CLISP would be nice if it had a BSD license or an XLisp public domain
source code.

That's your opinion. There is no need to insult any idea nor the work
of anybody, for expressing an opinion.
