My stuff is licensed BSD/MIT. That seems best for Lisp libraries that
you want to be as widely usable as possible. GPL is better if you're
main goal is the liberation of software. LGPL just seems like a mess
and it's not clear that LLGPL fixes it--just using BSD/MIT seems much
more straightforward.

+1 on the project; I think it's a great idea. I think I will be able to help out with the project. However, the real trick is getting adoption and use by the public; while I think that including it in Lispbox will make a lot of newbees use it and thus, give the project a good boost, it would be great if we could somehow get the prolific package contributors to take advantage of this project.
So if you already have a decent amount of experience in Lisp and the resulting accumilated set of macros and helper functions, what would it take for you to start using the common library instead of your own homebrewed solutions?
As for the license issue, BSD is the best in my book for this kind of a project.
