    I understand what you are saying here in terms of the difference between using wall-clock or causal ordering to determine who 'wins' for LWW. However, both of these strategies seem…

    If you publish the code anywhere, potentially. You could be (unknowingly) violating the original license if the code was copied verbatim from another source. How much of a concern …
