In my current project we had to remove a function, which we copied from this Google Blog post, because the code has no licence. It seems very strange to me as the Android Dev team write this code for us to use it. Someone can help me how to solve this and give a good argument why we are allowed to use this code ? https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/a-safer-way-to-collect-flows-from-android-uis-23080b1f8bda

Who forced you to delete that function?

someone higher in the hierarchy, he is sth like the open source expert appearently
It was detected by some automation, as another open source project used the same function from that blogpost

I think it has no sense. If I start to share public snippets without license I could block a lot of projects
