I'm not well versed in C&C, but it's always good to see more games open sourced.

To use the compiled binaries, you must own the game

Was expecting a catch. Still good for modding I guess

Anyone know if this is a technologically-enforced “must” or just a “pretty please”?

The entire series is on sale on Steam right now for $6 if that helps.

That's only the HD remaster of TD and RA1.

If you dig some experienced players comments who bought the "remastered" stuff, they are complaining that they "re-mastered" the exact same bugs that seriously annoyed the players too. They didn't fix the bugs. With the power of OSS, every bug can be fixed.
