How difficult would it be to write something like xref from scratch with a BSD-style license? Could somebody who has looked at the xref.lisp source still do that?
The safe way would be a "Chinese Wall". Have someone that has looked at the code describe it (at high level, certainly not line-by-line) to someone that has never seen the code.
Also of use might be the xref implementation in cmucl, which I don't think has any license issues. Of course it's probably very cmucl specific, but perhaps it would be a useful reference.
