Nonsense. The copyright notice for GNU CLisp specifically clarifies that you are allowed to distribute your clisp programs, whether interpreted or compiled, under any terms you like. Just don't touch clisp internals. Accompany the program with the source for CLisp and you are clear. Anyway, I knew I didn't want to learn lisp when I heard that an implementation is not required to optimize tail calls. That means deep recursions are unreliable. A functional language in which you have to iterate instead of recurse? Impossible!
