As far as I know, it is called "Classpath" exception not because it only applies to Java libraries, but because it was designed for GNU Classpath (open implementation of Java's standard library). The wording of the license doesn't say anything specific to Java; it only speaks about dynamic linking, and as such, it applies to Lisp as well. At least, this is my reading of it; I'm Not A Lawyer.

Hello, I am using ABCL to run lisp files in my Java code. ABCL is covered by the GNU General Public License with Classpath exception, meaning that you can use ABCL in your application without the requirement to open the sources to your application. So, I conclude the GNU GPL is not going to effect the license of my Java Code,
BUT, what about the lisp code I load using ABCL? Would it have to be released under GNU GPL ? Regards, Hamda
