 There is a version called XLisp that is public domain.  I believe it is
available ftp at sumex-aim.stanford.edu in directory info-mac/lang.  That is
if my memory serves me correctly.  Here is the information that come with it.

FWIW, Xlisp is NOT public domain.  David Betz holds the copyright on it
since version 1.7 (or 1.8), it was PD before that.  It is freely
distributable, you just can't make any money on it.

It was the PD version that Autodesk ripped off and incorporated into
the Autocad product as "Autolisp".  Without so much as a thanks, as I
understand...

BTW, there is a "comp.lang.xlisp" forum on USENET.

And no, Autolisp didn't so much as thank David!
