First, I beg everyone's forgiveness for posting three-in-a-row. My short response to this:
no one is going to catch you if you re-use code and don't post it online. I'm not recommending it, but I'm simply saying, there's no reason to maliciously obfuscate code. However, I'll acknowledge the possibility that it might happen somewhere. But:
You can't make teams be graciously professional. The best you can do is ask. Intentionally obfuscating code is certainly an example of this. No solution will be perfect.
