Usually when code dumps like these happen they don’t include any of the art assets. That’s why you still need to get the game on steam to run it, to download the sprites and what not. Has nothing to do with the code enforcing anything.
I don’t know about these particular releases though, I could be wrong.
Ah that actually makes sense. Open source of the code doesn’t give you free reign on the art assets. Wouldn’t have even thought of that myself.
when a game is open sourced its almost universally just the code, and not the art assets.
This is only speculation on my part, but I assume it has something to do with the headache of the art assets being used in media/advertising/etc and trying to detangle.
