The project is called SLY. Sorry the subject is completely botched it
should read "SLY, a fork of SLIME."

There is a file swank.lisp in the SLY project and it starts up a server
that SLY connects to (SLIME can also connect to it, to a smaller
degree). There is also a swank and package many many symbols are named
exactly like in SLIME. I hope you don't expect me to rename all these.

Indeed, it is a fork. I removed the license but will put it back in
place, thanks for noting.
