What is the difference between internal and protected in kotlin...?

Protected means visible in this class and subclasses.

Internal is module scope.

btw, a module is not a package https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/visibility-modifiers.html#modules (I thought so at first)

[mkporwit]

Yes, good point.
