A lot. For instance, "Many non-integral values, such as decimal 0.2,
have an infinite place-value representation in binary (.001100110011...)
but have a finite place-value in binary-coded decimal (0.0010).

Understood. I don'
If you are counting the informal license
"Distribute like mad!" as a making it "public domain".
First, that depends on jurisdiction. But!
The README in the zipfile says it is proprietary
(for personal use only.)

The problem with that is bc can't use a normal bignum library and be
POSIX compliant as all the internal math is required to be in base 10.

A proposal of a suckless bignum library is finally taking shape.
The discussion that lead to it (and is still ongoing) can be found
here.

If you're just interested in the code, it's here.
