The Common Lisp HyperSpec has a similarly nerve-wracking proprietary license. The result is that nobody is able to so much as reupload its contents in a different web UI, let alone make substantive additions to it, even if the additions are clearly labeled as such and the original content is not modified.
- lispm 4y agoThe HyperSpec is a specific web UI to the ANSI Common Lisp Standard (actually some ANSI CL documentation version before it was officially published as a standards document). In this case the HyperSpec is based on the works of a standardization body AND is the specific HTML version (incl. more documentation from the standardization) created by a company. There are other versions in HTML (and also other documentation formats, IIRC) of the ANSI CL standard. One example is this web version, provided by Franz, Inc.: https://franz.com/support/documentation/ansicl.94/ansicl.htm https://franz.com/support/documentation/ansicl.94/ansicl.htm The content is basically the same as in the HyperSpec, but the rendering to HTML is very different.
