Copying someone else's code and putting it in your software repository is an excellent way to find yourself violating a wide variety of open source licenses. This is actually one of the most common causes for GPL violations. And companies have gotten into serious trouble for that. Either rewrite the code, or maintain it as a dependency and follow the licensing rules. Don't simply copy code from it into your project unless you have explicit reason to believe that that is OK to do.
