Your comment makes it seem like Tierney et al. only authored XLisp Stat, and you wrote a "reboot in Common Lisp" called Lisp Stat. That is not the case.

Tierney et al. authored both XLisp Stat and Lisp Stat. You took the code and modified it. There's nothing wrong with that, but you also present this modified code as Lisp Stat, a project "inspired" by XLisp Stat. You gave this code a new license, too.

I wonder what's the purpose of using "Lisp Stat" and "Symbolics" as project/company names, if not to mislead others. If that was not your intention, consider being more explicit about what is authored by you, and what is authored by others, and avoid using the same name for your project as that of the historical project.
