IAAL.  If the lisp-gardeners end up needing legal advice, I can help
out within reason.

That being said, (and no, this isnt intended as legal advice), I would
personally avoid putting serious work into a gui that depends on
CLISP, even if the intention is to later make it portable.  The GPL is
unclear, and Bruno Haible's additions don't clarify things - if
anything, they make it worse.

The LLGPL isnt much better, but at least LTK has the apparent
advantage of being working, portable, and documented.
