Description
Description
The licenses/ directory includes a file called eigen-license.txt which contains the LGPL3 license. Eigen's license has changed to be "primarily" MPL2, see: https://gitlab.com/libeigen/eigen/-/blob/3.4/COPYING.README
The file dependencies.txt in that same folder is also considerably out of date, both for things like supported compilers/versions and it seems to be pre-stanc3 and has some notes on building the now-deleted stanc2 compiler.

Research direction
Start with licenses/eigen-license.txt and compare it with Eigen 3.4's COPYING.README, then review licenses/dependencies.txt against current supported compiler versions and the post-stanc2 workflow. Done means both files reflect the current Eigen licensing and dependency/build information, with obsolete stanc2 notes removed.
