Comment (by sysrqb):
gk pointed me at `about:licenses` where Firefox already includes a license
for libevent. However, the included is quite old (earlier than 2009). The
in-tree license (under `ipc/chromium/src/third_party/libevent/` is
correct, but that's not the one shipped with Firefox). It seems like
copied the corresponding licenses in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531821 and never updated them
after that. Firefox [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1360264
bumped] its vendored libevent in 2017.
In any case, I'll open an upstream bug for updating the libevent license
in Firefox. We should include updated licenses for Tor Browser-specific
components/libraries. gk mentioned we could add all of our unique licenses
into `about:license`, as well, instead of bundling them in different text
files in tor-browser-build. I'll open another ticket for that.
In the meantime, I'd still like review for the above patches. Shipping a
license for libevent that is 11 years old is not appropriate.
