Incorrect, only some UUIDs are random, specifically v4 and v7 (v7 uses time as well).

This would technically be version 2, which would be built from the date-time and MAC address, and DCE security version.

But overall, if you allow any yahoo to pick a UUID, its not really a UUID, its just some random string that looks like one.

universally unique identifier (UUID)

It's unique.

Anyway we're talking about a package that doesn't matter. It's abandoned. Furthermore it's also broken, because it uses REPL without importing it. You can't even precompile it.
