Thanks.

I apologize for the confusion.

SeaBIOS itself uses the GNU LGPLv3 license.  All of the c code in the
src/ and vgasrc/ directories should state that (or, for a handful of
files that came from external projects, should state a license
compatible with the LGPLv3).  It does appear a few c files are missing
a license statement - this was a harmless omission.

I don't feel there is a reasonable confusion on the SeaBIOS license -
I feel the intent is clear that the SeaBIOS code is licensed under the
GNU LGPLv3.
