I understand it, as Lisp users are Lisp users, they are not
necessarily GNU users, neither free software users.

As CLISP being a GNU package, could have more freedom oriented
hosting.

Anyway, I am willing to help at list to maintain and improve the
website, in terms of links and other small matters or big matters.

And being the GNU software, I would include at list something like
:license, or (license) and inform users in that initial Welcoming
screen about licensing. As now copyrights are there nicely displayed,
yet, to get the licensing, one need to do the --license argument.

It would be better to say on first screen, something like:

Copyright by xxxxxx people
