A bit of a non-standard post as I don’t think you can actually play them for free yet (I can’t see any binaries available and there’s a disclaimer that you need to already own the games, presumably for assets/art), but a pleasant surprise and hopefully something to keep an eye on!
Yeah, the disclaimer means the source code is 100% free, which will enable community patches and mods, but the art, music, etc is all still under copyright and not GPL or any other open licenses.
This is a step in a good direction. Retired IP should either be released for free or open sourced altogether

Actually, you can play for free C&C, Red Alert and, iirc, Tiberian Sun. EA released them all for free some years ago so you can find their ISOS anywhere legally
