    Lol. It’s so greedy of them!

    Jokes aside. It’s an interesting distinction to make. Even though the source code is freely available, it doesn’t mean developers have free reign to do anything they want like they could with open source software. Apart from special circumstances, everything made with the source code will still be mods.

      It does harken back to the original HL mod scene though - some high quality stuff came out of that (and valve picked up the Devs too)
