I know precisely what a "third-party library" is, so I assume that the "third-party" in this case, simply is an arbitrary person/company other than the developer?
Has it to do with "first person" / "second person" etc perhaps?
The fact that there is a "third party" suggests that there is a "first party" and a "second party" as well. Are those terms well defined?
(I'm not a native english speaker.)

First-party refers to the insured individual, second-party is the insurance provider, and third party is the person towards whom damages are owed by the first-party in an accident.
A third party is someone who is not one of the main people involved in a business agreement or legal case, but who is involved in it in a minor role. You can instruct your bank to allow a third party to remove money from your account.
First-party and third-party insurance claims are different. A person files a first-party claim with his or her own insurance company. In contrast, a person files a third-party claim with the insurance company of the driver who caused the accident.
Second Party means the person, firm or company submitting a tender against the Invitation to Tender and includes his/ its/ their staff, consultants, parent and associate and subsidiary companies, agents, consortium and joint venture partners, sub-contractors, suppliers, sellers, buyers, customers etc, including heirs, ...
If you are developing software for a client, then there is a contract between you/your company, and the client/their company. These are the two parties to the contract. Anyone else, not bound by the contract, is a third party. It's used wherever a contract exists between two parties to mean anyone not bound by the contract.
There is no fixed meaning to which of the two parties is 'first' and which 'second', usually you will think you're the first party, and the client the second, whereas the client will think they are the first party and you the second, in a similar fashion to first, second and third person I/he/they.

These terms are well defined in English when talking about grammar (English grammar or another language's).
First person corresponds to the pronouns "I" and "we"; "me" and "us" (so a book written in the first person is a story told by the central character - "I did this" as opposed to "Smith did this").
Second person corresponds to the pronoun "you".
Third person corresponds to the pronouns" he", "she", "it" and "they"; "him", "her" and "them".
So "third party" just means not you or me, but them.
