I've decided to go with the same license as CL-SDL, namely BSD.

Unfortunately Corman does not support the UFFI otherwise I would 
definitely be contributing to cl-sdl. Corman's FFI model does offer some 
advantages however, interfacing to Microsoft COM objects are relatively 
easy, as are callbacks from foreign code. And Corman has a really useful 
C to FFI parser that converts around 80% of the sdl header files 
automatically.
