Greetings, and thanks for your helpful feedback. Copyright as apart
from license information, extra command line features, and similar
matters should be put off until 2.7.x I think. The copyrights are
distributed across a variety of people, some deceased.
Please check out the recent commit. CLtL1/ANSI, a gpl'ed module list,
and (I think) clearer license terms are in place. Feedback most
appreciated from all. One can modify the banner via its variable
si::*system-banner*. This is primarily for use by programs like axiom.
A compatible license should be displayed in the modified banner,
however.
Take care,
