Description ganooslashlinus 2022-07-26 07:50:40 UTC 
sys-devel/bc-1.07.1-r4 has License: GPL-2 LGPL-2.1
That version of bc is licensed under GPLv3+: https://www.gnu.org/software/bc/bc.html#Licensing
A few files in the source are licensed under LGPL-3+, but GPL-3+ applies to those unless those files are extracted from the source, so the ebuild probably shouldn't list LGPL.

I don't even see which parts are LGPL-3.

Thanks for the reports!
