Currently I'm working for a company developing an Android device based on Android 12L including this library. During our FOSS license check process there came up an issue about the file library/src/main/java/com/bumptech/glide/util/Util.java.

This file contains a code snippet from StackOverflow. StackOverflow code is licensed under CC-BY-SA. The version of the license depends from the point in time of the post, here 3.0 applies. The CC-BY-SA-3.0 is generally a not so nice license for code at least from our perspective.

CC-BY-SA-3.0 and the snippet is not mentioned in the LICENSE file.

Eventually is the snippet so small that there is no copyright at all?

So maybe somebody from Google or the project team could tell me what is the legal view of the project team/Google to that topic.
