- teo_zero 2y agoShareware software come with restrictions on redistribution, not use.
- notpushkin 2y agoDoes it? I thought it was vice versa.
- abofh 2y agoI think you're right - it encouraged sharing, but usually limited functionality (use) unless you knew the secret code "TIASP1814" - sorry scorched earth 1.2, you didn't give me a free upgrade 20 years ago, and I've been holding that grudge forever.
- itscrush 2y agoIt was released as freeware back when by EA originally, which is what openRA relies on. Later the source was released under GPL[1] during the CNC remastered collection from EA.

- account42 2y agoYes, but "Freeware" is not a license. Typically there is an EULA that tells you what you are allowed to do.
- rpdillon 2y agoThe OpenRA site is clear that the code is GPLv3 and the assets are used under the C&C Franchise Modding Guidelines. https://www.openra.net/download/ https://www.openra.net/download/ https://www.ea.com/games/command-and-conquer/command-and-conquer-remastered/modding-faq https://www.ea.com/games/command-and-conquer/command-and-con...
