Over its history, MCL has been known under different names:

It has also spawned at least one separately maintained fork:
- 1998, Clozure CL (CCL), known previously as OpenMCL
- In 2007 MCL 5.2 was open sourced.
- In 2009 RMCL (MCL running under Rosetta) was published as open source.
- Since 2009 an open source version of RMCL (based on MCL 5.2) is hosted at Google Code MCL. This version runs under Rosetta (Apple's PPC to Intel code translator that is an optional install under Mac OS X 10.6).
