FS#906 - [libsmf]: referring to "BSD-licensed" in description

Description:

The description of the package need to be changed to accommodate:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html

The expression “BSD-style license” leads to confusion because it lumps together licenses that have important differences. For instance, the original BSD license with the advertising clause is incompatible with the GNU General Public License, but the revised BSD license is compatible with the GPL.

To avoid confusion, it is best to name the specific license in question and avoid the vague term “BSD-style.” 

community/libsmf 1.3-5
    A BSD-licensed C library for handling SMF ("*.mid") files.
