Part of the agreement that you make when you submit a PR is that you assign rights for the fixes to LC so the code can be integrated into the commercial versions.  You can’t mix the code on GitHub with the commercial versions yourself though. I have submitted stuff that is now in released

For the DG2 benefits, the containing group for the DG needs to be in container mode.  Also, the biggest benefit will be seen with fixed height rows.  This is something that comes with 9.5 DP 1. For the field, you may see better performance if you make it a native field. Thanks, Brian On May
