On a Steam Community post from yesterday on all affected Command & Conquer games, EA made the announcement that they were releasing the source code under the open source GPL3 license for the following Command & Conquer titles and their expansions:

• Tiberian Dawn
• Red Alert
• Renegade
• Generals

A modding support pack has also been released for multiple C&C titles on the SAGE engine. This appears to be a massive boon towards preserving and improving the ease and quality of playing these C&C games in the future, and maybe even the Battle for Middle-earth games that share their SAGE engine.

Additionally, they have enabled Steam Workshop support for the following titles:

• Renegade
• Generals & Zero Hour
• Tiberium Wars and Kane’s Wrath
• Red Alert 3 & Uprising
• Tiberian Twilight

 

Overall, the Command & Conquer community of modders and players seem to be extremely pleased and excited with this news!
