IMHO GPL requires only the source availability, so pointers to the source of
the clisp and the application (giving the user the possibility to create the
image himself) should be sufficient (and they are required anyway).

Having the source gives user the possibility to enable repl even if
application author/maintainer hided it.

Relationship between clisp and clisp-based application seems to be close
enough to propagate GPL to the app.
