"Copying" is the only thing you need permission for.

Copyright does not imply that the author can prevent people from
giving or selling legal copies to each other.

license terms of the Lisp interpretation (which may bee less free
than the license itself).

                     hilser overmådigt venligt på en mor med barn, bryder ud
                    i sang og stiller sig til sidst op og pisser i en port."
