Though I will say, no offence to the author, but I am a little hesitant to install a free theme with compiled modules that seem to hide the code. This is mainly due to the recent harvesting of data concerns by other shady plugins. At least with paid plugins, you can at least understand why they are hiding the code
I am more trusting if I am purchasing a plugin (though I’ve never done that) only because if they are doing something shady, they’d lose their income once people find out about it. I am less trusting of a free plugin surprisingly. I guess the world is just making me less trusting.
