CCL also means Codemist Common Lisp - the lisp on which the commercial
Axiom was based when it was a product of NAG. When NAG agreed to open the
Axiom sourced, Codemist distributed CCL for free (not sure about the
license). I tried CCL, and it did not work for me; I haven't spent much
time investigating why. In fact, CCL is a modified version of CSL
(Codemist Standard Lisp) which is used by REDUCE. When REDUCE was
open-sourced last year, so was CSL (modified BSD license). I'm not sure
what's the current status of CCL.
So, this change may be confusing. Some people (me including) when seeing
ccl will think of Codemist Common Lisp.
