Through the dedicated efforts of developers and community members, EA has released the source code for its legacy Command & Conquer titles.
In an uncharacteristically charitable move, EA has just made the source code for four of its legacy Command & Conquer titles freely available to the public under the GPL license. This includes the restored original source code for both Command & Conquer and Red Alert, as well as the SAGE-powered Command & Conquer: Renegade and Command & Conquer: Generals. While fan projects like OpenRA and OpenSAGE have produced their own approximations of the code that powered these titles, having free versions of the original code to work with is a huge benefit to video game preservation and future developers.
