How come people can make non GPL modules for a GPL program? Can anyone else use their modules for a theme?
Back to breaking functionality, wouldn't it be helpfull to have the module creator check compatibility inside the module? He knows best what he has changed/repaired/added.
Picture this : !NetLoadModule popup 1.96.5
But the popup module installed is 2.02.3 A function inside the module could check the version against a table of compatibility and say wether the theme will run all right or not.
I'm thinking that asking if each and every function needed wouldn't be a good idea since functions can be changed to do something different and it would make too much more code. But asking for versions and checking their compatibility can be easily done and implemented!
P.S. I'm delving into the xmodules
