My understanding is that if your published application (commercial or 
otherwise) uses facilities of CLISP not generally available in other 
lisps (i.e., CLISP specific extensions to common lisp) then you would 
be required to release the source of your application under the GPL.

IOW, an application that could just as easily be distributed using sbcl 
or ccl, etc. does not need to open its source, but one that is clisp 
specific does.

warmest regards,
