IIRC the main reason for SLIME being considered non-free is the licence of xref.lisp, in particular

FYI, Debian doesn't include xref.lisp anymore, as you can see from the Debian changelog [1]: ===== slime (1:20060306-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version. * Removed xref.lisp file. -- Peter Van Eynde <pvaneynd@debian.org> Tue, 7 Mar 2006 14:37:41 +0100 ===== The last references to xref.lisp was removed with the next upload [2]: ===== slime (1:20060328-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream * removed xref.lisp from swank.asd for clisp (Closes: #359215) -- Peter Van Eynde <pvaneynd@debian.org> Tue, 28 Mar 2006 12:30:19 +0200 ===== So, xref.lisp is no more a problem.
