If you copy code, you have to make sure that you can use it under the
currrent license of your package, and you have to make sure to declare
copright holders and authors. As the code is part of the package now,
therese are of course now also copyright holders and authors of your
package.

Adelchi,
I have a similar situation where I had made all of the typical academic
references within the code and documentation for a small but important function
my package uses. I was asked by the CRAN reviewers to add the author of that
function to the DESCRIPTION Authors@R section. I added the following:
person("Terry", "Therneau", role = c("aut”))

The new version of a package which I maintain will include a new function which
I have ported to R from Matlab.
The documentation of this R function indicates the authors of the original
Matlab code, reference to their paper, URL of the source code.
Question: is this adequate, or should I include them as co-authors of the
package, or as contributors, or what else?
Is there a general policy about this matter?
