[eclipse.org-committers] How to deal with stackoverflow contributions

[Christian Pontesegger <christian.pontesegger@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I would like to ask how we should deal @ eclipse with code saples taken 
from stackoverflow. Nowaday it is quite common to find code snippets on 
stackoverflow and reuse them for own implementations. While this might 
be common practice, I would like to know how such contributions should 
be dealt with.

Stackoverflow has a license
https://stackoverflow.blog/2009/06/25/attribution-required/

that at least requires attribution. Say we would re-use a code snippet 
like this one:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30031748/how-to-get-image-from-plugin-internal-resources?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa

What would be the correct way to use it within a commit? Attribution in 
the source code next to the snippet? Would we need to file a CQ?


thanks for your answers
Christian
