By choosing the GPL 3 license, however, EA Games is also doing more by making sure the code will be compatible with open source projects CnCNet and Open RA.
Open sourcing the code for the two major versions of Command & Conquer would allow modders to take a closer look at how the game was made and modify it to their heart’s content. It’s a tricky legal situation that lawyers simply avoid by keeping code closed but EA Games wants to do right by fans of the 25-year-old C&C franchise, especially the still vibrant modding community that has grown up around it. This is very big news considering how major game studios are wary of open sourcing any part of their game (despite themselves using open source software for those games).
