Common Lisp bits

The Internet Archive has a giant tarball of old Lucid stuff, a 3.6GB download. Here's a file index, 1MB. The dump includes:

• An Energize demo video from djw, made in 1993. The /r/programming comments have some additional context, especially ohmantics remarks on the compiler technology behind it.
• Code for Lucid Emacs
• Code for Lucid Common Lisp (I think)
• Code for (some of?) Energize (I think)
• Code and design documents for Lisp - Emacs Protocol, possibly a version of Franz's ELI, predating SLIME by many years
• Random executables for ancient, dead Unix platforms

It's unclear who published this dump on archive.org and what they expect people to do with it. As Rainer Joswig points out, " this dump does not mean there is a usable license" for anything it contains.
