CMUCL. If you don't like it, you can try something else. It's free,
open source, BSD (?) licensed, large, extensively supported. Your next
open source port of call after CMUCL would be SBCL, as it's a close
derivative. After that, well, then you start having to think. Spending
money, platforms, what you really really want, that sort of thing.

The core of CMUCL is "Public Domain". You cannot get any more "free"
than that. Other parts of the CMUCL distribution have different
licensing schemes, e.g. CLX.
