I think it is related to these files:

    src/backend/utils/adt/inet_cidr_ntop.c
    src/backend/utils/adt/inet_net_pton.c

which have at the top:

 * Copyright (c) 2004 by Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. ("ISC")
 * Copyright (c) 1996,1999 by Internet Software Consortium.

but I am not sure we still need to update those, so I would remove it.
