GNU Common Lisp (GCL)
History
Professor Schelter released version 625 of the ACKL package under a new name, licence and version number in 1994 as GNU Common Lisp. This no longer required the KCL package to work but was fully compatible. Although mostly based on Schelters own work the release under a new licence was slightly controversial since large portions of that work had been done under contract with third parties. After Schelter's untimely passing in 2001 the Free Software Foundation took over the development of the GCL package. However after an initial spurt of development there has been little work done on the system in the last few years with a few minor, mainly bug fix releases.
