Maybe you don't necessarily need to change the licence of existing code. Just like with the legacy code from Spice Lisp and CMUCL which was public domain, it should be enough to state that the licence for new code is MIT and over time the code base would become a mixture, just like SBCL. I guess
Thanks for the replies. The idea of using a license for new code might indeed help. I now have some questions out to the open source team here, and I will reply when they get back to me.
