My stuff is licensed BSD/MIT. That seems best for Lisp libraries that  
you want to be as widely usable as possible. GPL is better if you're  
main goal is the liberation of software. LGPL just seems like a mess  
and it's not clear that LLGPL fixes it--just using BSD/MIT seems much  
more straightforward.
