Hello, I am the author of a GNU-compatible, BSD-licensed bc (https://github.com/gavinhoward/bc). I noticed (on https://wiki.freebsd.org/GPLinBase) that FreeBSD used to use the GNU bc until it was taken out because of the GPL. My bc is not licensed under the GPL; it is under the 0BSD license. Thus, I think my bc might be a great fit for FreeBSD. My bc is well-tested. I make sure that every single memory bug that I can find is out before every single release. I also make sure that my bc's math is correct by running millions of random math problems before every release. My bc is extremely portable; it easily builds on any POSIX platform. And it includes a full dc as well (except for the "!" command). I would love to work with the core team to get my bc into FreeBSD, if there is interest. I am about to do a release, and I am willing to delay the release to get it up to par for FreeBSD. Would there be interest? Gavin Howard
