Those are still not arguments. Xach has provided an argument of
convenience which I will consider.

I will also rename "sldb" to "sly-db", the argument (that I'm making on
your behalf) being that it pollutes and takes more than the needed share
of symbol namespace.

But SLIME does too, so you ought to change it as well. I will also
rename prefixless definitions, something that again SLIME is guilty
of. slime.el's when-let, for example is in direct conflict with a
proposed addition to emacs.

So to summarize your requests are:

* Add license to sly-mrepl.el
* sldb -> sly-db
* Maybe rename swank to zwank or slynk.

If I missed something please let me know.
