Well, I wouldn't call a linear algebra package "linear algebra", or an
XML parser "xml", because they aren't what their name sugests. I would
prefer something along the lines of "ubf.lisp", or "cl-ubf",
"UBF-in-CL" etc.

I ask because at least in germany it is not possible to put things in
the public domain...
