Leverage source code from another repository

Hi Team,

Is it ok to leverage source code from another repository?
For example, if I only want to use the FRU write command from intel-ipmi-oem.
https://github.com/openbmc/intel-ipmi-oem/blob/master/src/storagecommands.cpp#L316

Is it allowed to copy it into our ipmi oem library?

Thanks,
Harry

The licenses on the repositories allow it. As long as the copyrights are 
kept and the licences don't conflict, it should be fine.

That being said, many of the handlers in intel-ipmi-oem work well 
together and it may be that you just want to include the whole provider 
libarary.
