Yes, of course you do. If you copy code, you *must* honour existing copyrights and have not any right to remove these.
hm, starting from how many lines of code? Copy-paste is one of the main programming technics, as we all know:-) If you copy one line, you don't have to transfer all copyrights over, do you?
I don't know of any "official" rules, but anything above the 5...10 lines limit should be properly attributed.
