I find this code useful and want to copy-paste it into my application which is licensed as public domain.
It is the Android blog, they often show useful code snippets.
There is no way to contact the author, and the only license info I can see is “©2008 Google Inc. All rights reserved.”
Should I:
- Stop worrying and just copy-paste?
- Reimplement it myself without looking?
- Copy-paste and then make it look different?
- Any better solution? …
Is there a rule like “if shorter than 50 lines then no copyright applies” or something?
