I see no reason we shouldn't.  It looks like a case where the author
gave permission to distribute it under a free license but the
documentation lagged behind.  It's definitely a good idea to get the
documentation fixed, but given that XLISP itself is released under the
free license now, I see no reason to doubt what Steve says.

Thanks to both you and Steve for working together to get this
straightened out.
