Alceste Scalas noticed that the problematic xref.lisp file is only used by clisp, so removing it becomes a possibility. It would be painfull for the clisp hackers, but who needs xref anyway? :-)

This would be a bit of a pity just because it's a nice module.

Then the only barriers between slime and main would be:

-swank-ecl.lisp: we could remove this too, but I would prefer to have it with _some_ licence

• doc/Makefile HACKING NEWS PROBLEMS README ChangeLog

someone just has to declare then PD?

Can we make this declaration in e.g. the README or a COPYING file?

How is this normally done? I don't remember seeing license declarations inside ChangeLog or NEWS files.
