There's only 1 man who can answer that with any certainty but I will venture a guess that they did. Ether that or the owners of the standalone mod were asked to join the GWX Dev team to help them incorporate it into GWX.

Besides, GWX has not taken an already established supermod added a few changes and then re-released the entire thing as their own work.

EDIT - Just seen your edit. There would probably no issue with this, if a JSGME/EXE package was created to add Carotio's changes to someones install of GWX/WAC but what he is doing is using entire supermods and re-distributing them. To me and many others, that is plagerism. If he is going to create a supermod, he must start from scratch with his own files & research. You will probably find that the majority of time it took for GWX to be ready for release was taken up with research & testing (at least 75%), Carotio has done none of this. Example, the torp tweaks I made you, what if I made the tweaks and said that you had to d/l the entire supermod again. A bit extreme but similar to this situation.
