    It just means the developer posted the source code of their program for others to use. There’s nothing wrong with it. Id open sourced their Doom and Quake games back in the 90’s. Valve recently open sourced Team Fortress 2.

    So you’re free to play around with the code and make changes, but if you want the full game with all the maps, you still have to buy a copy.

    Disclaimer before anyone jumps on me, that’s just two examples. There are tons of different types of open sources licenses.
