Didn't they explicitly acquire the people behind CRDT's. Wasn't it also part of Google Wave?

They may well have hired some of the cohort behind early CRDT research. But I don't believe that work was ever directly applied to Google Docs, from what I've read. Google probably has other applications for CRDTs far beyond anything I'd comprehend.

The whitepapers and other material I've read all points to OT being used for Google Wave, which was later applied to Google Docs as well.
