Kyoto Common Lisp
An implementation of LISP originally done by Taiichi Yuasa and Masami Hagiya at the Research Institute of Mathematical Sciences at Kyoto University as a part of the MITI led Fifth Generation Project and was released as copyrighted open source software in 1985. Kyoto Common Lisp (KCL) became very influential in the LISP world, not only because a number of commercial implementers licenced the code or portions of it but also since the original Common Lisp proposal by the Department of Defence had a large number of errors in it which were fixed and notated by the Kyoto group making the Kyoto Common Lisp Report a de facto standard.
