[Trisquel-devel] Patch for issue #2411 - needs review

For Issue: https://trisquel.info/en/issues/2411

This helper method simply removes the word "freeware" from the
description which is a GNU project word to avoid.  While this fixes the
specific issue in the bug I was wondering if someone could review the
copyright file
(http://packages.trisquel.info/changelogs/pool/main/y/yforth/yforth_0.1beta-21/yforth.copyright)
to make sure this is in fact libre software.  While it says it is
"freeware" it doesn't clearly state if it is free software and it isn't
under a normal license I recognise.  Thanks
