As part of bug 825927, we are importing third-party code for formatting of IP addresses into strings. The original code is available from just about any BSD operating system repository, such as:

http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-6/src/lib/libc/inet/inet_ntop.c

We need text added to about:license, under nrappkit (about:license#nrappkit). At the end of the existing text, we should append:

The following license applies to sections of the file: media/mtransport/third_party/nrappkit/src/util/util.c

license for inet_ntop()

Turns out the license was already there, just applying to a different file.  Given that, I'm going to land the code under the presumption adding another file to the list a license applies to is formality.  Patch for license.html attached.

Wasn't on my needinfo list; somehow this got missed.  Was primarily a formality since we already had the license in the tree, per comment 2, so I don't think we need to uplift it.
