licenses: add TVMET-ADDENDUM dev-libs/tvmet uses LGPL-2.1 with an addendum that modifies the license conditions. Therefore a user must explicitly accept both the LGPL-2.1 and the TVMET-ADDENDUM to use the software. NB: due to point 5 in the addendum, this is essentially badgeware. TVMET-ADDENDUM should NOT be added to license groups such as @FREE.

Statically linking of a copy of the Library against any work using the + Library, i.e. the inclusion of (parts of) the Library into a program or + binary, is functionally equivalent to a work using the Library by linking to + it dynamically, and therefore does not constitute creating a modified or + derivative work based on the Library. + +4.
