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.

Good short documentation for CL functions (etc.) available?
I started a CL library just for that: enhance the built-in doc of symbols that lack one. https://github.com/ciel-lang/more-docstrings It's only the start, but I use it and should carry on. Pull requests are easy and welcome.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ready-lisp and more-docstrings you can also consider the following projects:
elisp-demos - Demonstrate Emacs Lisp APIs
cl-community-spec - A Common Lisp specification, made from the original ANSI specification drafts
