757669 - Verify licensing on webrtc.org import

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: WebRTC, defect)

Description

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

Gerv - we need to verify the licensing on importing the webrtc.org code; for some reason I assumed this had been done long ago before I joined (I think Blizzard made some comment), so this may have already been done, but I have no record of it.  I suspect it was at best informal.

Here are all the license files that are relevant. See also http://webrtc.org/

Also, there are other parts to the code, see below for the gyp license.  trunk/build seems to come from Chromium and be under that license, but there's no LICENSE file in build, just in src.  The third_party components we'll be using are libyuv, libsrtp, and (parts of) libjingle.  The other parts of tools/* other than gyp I plan to remove before landing on m-c since we don't use them, and the other 3rd-party modules as well (we might use expat temporarily, but we already have a copy of that in the tree so I imagine that's not an issue).

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

All of these are fine; some or all of them will need adding to about:license. It should be fairly obvious how to do that; make sure you use alphabetical order, and specify which directories are covered. If you produce a patch, I can review it.
