aports/testing/fxfloorboard-katana-mk2/remove-program-expiration-code.patch

By default the application has an expiry date, so it will stop working
6 months after version release date. Developer has given following
explanation:

https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?msg=272762

"The reason for having time limited versions from now on, is because
some people are copying it and selling it on eBay as a CD with a patch
library, and I wanted to try to foil their plans without having to do a
paid registration on the editor.

It is a little annoying for the average user having to download update
it each year, but it will make their CD pressings obsolete from time to
time."

This patch removes the "time bomb", as the functionality was not meant 
for versions available in Linux distributions.
