GNU CLISP <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/clisp/> and the german CLISP
ought to be the same thing, just different distribution points.  There
is a CLISP sourceforge site too.  GNU Common Lisp, or "gcl" can be
found at <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcl/>.

Just to clarify, CLISP is a proper name, and not used here as a
contraction of Common Lisp, i.e.: GNU CLISP is not equal to GNU Common
Lisp (GCL).  I don't know if that is the source of your confusion, but
it certainly a possible one.
