Lisp and documentation sources are available via anonymous FTP ftp to any CMU CS machine. All CMU written code is public domain, but CMU CL also makes use of two imported packages: PCL and CLX. Although these packages are copyrighted, they may be freely distributed without any licensing agreement or fee. See the `README' file in the binary distribution for up-to-date source pointers.
The release area contains a source distribution, which is an image of all the `.lisp' source files used to build a particular system version:
version-source.tar.Z (3.6 meg)
All of our files (including the release area) are actually in the AFS file system. On the release machines, the FTP server's home is the release directory: `/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/clisp/release'. The actual working source areas are in other subdirectories of `clisp', and you can directly ``cd'' to those directories if you know the name. Due to the way anonymous FTP access control is done, it is important to ``cd'' to the source directory with a single command, and then do a ``get'' operation.
Alternatively, you can obtain the current sources via WWW at
which contains pointers on how to get a tar file of the current sources or how to get an individual file from the sources. Binary versions for selected platforms are also available as well.http://www.cons.org/cmucl
