One question about that - in theory, someone's clisp specific code
could be ported to another lisp environment, that the original author
did not develop for. How does this work? The original work, by the
above arguement, would be forced to be GPL, but a new developer could
remove the dependance on Clisp which originally forced that condition.
What happens then? Also, what about code that originally was written
for multiple lisp environments, but has not maintained and happens to
only work with clisp?
