Help with CLHS license
A few weeks ago, I was interested to actually include HS as info files I found in GCL or the one I found in an old package by Wiegley, into some form in SLY or as a standalone package for reading in Emacs info. While looking for info files, I found this old discussion on GCLs mailing list. It seemed like they included the standard, not the draft. Note the mail by Maguire in which he informs that the issue has been solved "offline". Up to date as I write this, GCL comes with those info files.

Is there a version of Hyperspec with better user experience?
Both cl-community-spec and nova-spec looks very nice; I haven't seen any of them before; however, I prefer hyperspec directly in Emacs, so I can read it with C-h i. I have found two different versions that work nice, one is by J. Wiegley in his ready-lisp, it also has asdf in texinfo. Another one is in GCL; I have just cloned the repo and pointed Emacs to texinfo sources. In both cases it requires the manual installation; but I prefer to not have to toggle between Emacs and Browser. Eww probably works, but I found it to be slightly slow; reading offline manual in info mode is just way too faster to be ignored IMO :).

Good short documentation for CL functions (etc.) available?
Anyway, we do lack Common Lisp info manuals in Emacs docs. You can git clone from the Gcl compiler, or clone from J. Wigleys read-lisp, but you will have to manually install them into Emacs (thus far). Gcl have lots of parts related to Gcl itself, but the hyperspec works fine (just ignore gcl parts), while Wiegleys is just hyperspec.

A possible approach could be to load the GCL info files from here: https://github.com/fonol/cl-community-spec/tree/main/info

This is our best bet, I think. We should all contribute and make it better: https://github.com/fonol/cl-community-spec

HyperSpec rendition produced from ANSI spec draft
A very crude first version can be found at https://cl-community-spec.github.io/pages/index.html. I called it community-spec, because ideally, after I have the generated HTML on an okay-ish level (which will still take some time probably), corrections to the output could be made by anyone who finds an error. The repository can be found here: https://github.com/fonol/cl-community-spec

Legal question on using the HyperSpec
Someone already pointed me to them on GitHub: https://github.com/fonol/cl-community-spec/issues/2 The new version that is online now is actually made from the sources already.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ready-lisp and cl-community-spec you can also consider the following projects:
elisp-demos - Demonstrate Emacs Lisp APIs
ql-https - HTTPS support for Quicklisp via curl
parrot - A cross-platform Common Lisp editor
quicklisp-client - Quicklisp client.
