Valve has opened up Team Fortress 2's full client and source code, encouraging players to 'change, extend, or rewrite' the game in any way they like.
However, all mods must be released for free.
Team Fortress 2 is nearing its 20th anniversary, with the class-based first-person shooter first released in 2007.-

Not really how patents work. It does not matter if the code is open or not, others are still not allowed to use patented code elsewhere or at least not commercially. (Not talking about the legitimacy of software patents)

2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
