Concerning point 1, there's a modified version of the code from
"On Lisp" at <https://github.com/DalekBaldwin/on-lisp>.
The file "on-lisp.asd" contains an extra indication by Paul Graham about
the license:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Original code:
This code is copyright 1993 by Paul Graham, but anyone who wants
to use the code in any nonprofit activity, or distribute free
verbatim copies (including this notice), is encouraged to do so.

Modified code:
As long as you tell people it's modified and link to
the original, that's fine.  --pg
