this week I'm going to test ECL on Windows and report regressions against the last release, I'm setting up cygwin/msys2/vs2015 ce for that

Will I be allowed to port https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/commit/2b7d0bdb676975cb76011822d215f9e683001117 into SBCL?

file is licensed as the whole codebase (lgpl-2.1+), so no unless you want to compromise the public domainess of sbcl. Notice, that it is a modification of lgpl-2.1+ source, so it must be distributed under this license.

(so even if he did take this patch off tree and send it to you by mail, it still would be a subject of ecl's license)

no, I've remembered the format thing when I was taking a shower. examples are licensed under bsd-2 and contribs have individual licenses (if none then lgpl-2.1+ should be assumed)

You cannot expect the maintainer to take a shower each time you want to know what license is used for a file…

pjb: not everyone does it and it doesn't make sense for codebases under a single license

Because of fakes, each character, word, paragraph, etc, should be tagged with an author/license signature :-)

personally I dislike a style where top of each file has 40-50 line clutter about copyrights, licenses and such; but the good rule of a thumb is not changing things when you inherit the codebase
