According to this:
http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Tcl/comp.lang.tcl/2004-04/0840.html
(I could not find other sources, but from my reading of the licenses
this seems correct), Tcl is licensed under a BSD-style license.
Looking at the code, looks like slnunicode uses code from both Tcl
(BSD-style, but not verbatim -- for one, it's not worded in clauses)
and Lua 5.0 (MIT/X11-style license).

The FSF free software directory lists Tcl/Tk as being licensed with
the "Tcl license", so I guess "Tcl license + MIT/X11" would be a more
correct license description for the rock. Both are non-copyleft free
software licenses, so I believe they're basically equivalent (and
compatible). In any case, I'm updating the description.
