Description
As part of fixing an issue, @dmiller-nmap is introducing some code from the MS sample NDIS protocol driver. It also looks like Npcap has some previous (early days of Npcap development) code from Microsoft's sample LWF protocol driver from the same repo. The Microsoft Public License applied to the code is simple and super permissive, but we still should document it in Npcap-Third-Party-Open-Source and possibly other places.

Research direction
Start with docs/Npcap-Third-Party-Open-Source.pdf and review the Microsoft Windows-driver-samples LICENSE linked in the issue. Identify the NDIS protocol driver and LWF sample code brought into Npcap, then document the Microsoft Public License and check whether the repository has other relevant third-party notices. Done means the PDF and any needed related notices accurately credit and license the samples.
