I was literally just looking at that and about to comment on the equal proportions method

Will update once I fully understand the EQM, at first glance looks like a candidate list can be set where you can assign a rough percentage of votes to a candidate. This seems odd as it uses rounding and decimals, not something you would do when trying to protect integrity of individual votes.

For non-coders: There's a principle in coding based on Martin Fowler's statements on how to work with money. You don't want to lose 0.001 of a unit (of currency) and so you use whole numbers (ints) to represent money which are not susceptible to addition and subtraction rounding errors. The famous example is of a worker taking 1 penny from each transaction resulting in them making millions.

Looks like it allocates a weighted distribution of of seats given the number of seats provided and votes per candidate. Nothing nefarious it seems.
