Hi Eliot,
(Thanks to Nikodemus for answering your questions while I've been swamped). To summarize.
1. cl.net is for hosting open-source software -- any reasonable license is fine 2. I also like the MIT license. It's simple! 3. for simpler ssh access, look for ssh-agent (on the Mac, I use sshKeyChain) 4. I don't think that using AllegroCache adds any additional licensing problems (aside from the fact that anyone without ACL won't be able to use your software).
If I missed anything, please ask again.
thanks,

Huh, it seems licence requirements have vanished from the clnet website -- or maybe they never ended up there in the first place, not sure.
At any rate, Common-Lisp.net has since it's inception been open to all open source / free software projects building on Common Lisp. No implemention specific restrictions. That said, clnet is for *public* code. If you use clnet to store your personal code without releasing it into the open, that's not in the spirit of the service provided.
Thought so, just making sure :-)
My *biased* recommendation is the MIT licence http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php, but whatever suits *your* needs is fine: in the absence of a public notice on the clnet site, assume that any license which fulfills DFSG http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines is fine.
Thanks for the advice. Any particular reason you like the MIT license? (I know MIT is less restrictive than the GPL, but I really don't know much more than that.)
