Bug Description
Slime is in multiverse, despite consisting entirely of GPL-compatible licenses. I assume this is because of the one-off "Lisp Lesser GNU Public License". This is a modification (through a preamble...) of LGPL 2.1 to be specific to Lisp. It appears to weaken the LGPL copyleft in some ways and make it stricter in others. However, it doesn't revoke section 3 of the LGPL, which says "You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library." Thus, I believe any LLGPL code can be converted to GPL code, making LLGPL free, and suitable for Ubuntu universe.

The current Debian unstable version (1:20070927-2) is in main, so this will be in universe after we sync for hardy.
I subscribe the archive-admins for them to consider moving the current gutsy version from multiverse to universe too.
