Relax! :) All he said was "most eggs are BSD".  Currently
Eggs Unlimited lists 202 eggs as BSD, which is more than
half, so Elf's statement is true.  Which is not to say BSD
is better or more encouraged by Chicken in any way.

To get back to the point, eggs that simply list themselves
as (L)GPL should specify the version.  The listing on Eggs
Unlimited is intended, I think, to refer to the general
style of license, so just plain "GPL" may be fine there, but
some may want to argue GPLv3 is sufficiently different to
warrant separating.
