I'm working on updating some kicad documentation - I think the terms are both 
used for the same 
thing, unless I'm missing something. Do I have this straight - eeschema seems 
to use footprint and 
PCBnew calls the same thing modules?

In other programs, footprints are called "patterns" or "decals" 
(PADSpcb/powerlogic called them decals).
