I'm not well versed in C&C, but it's always good to see more games open sourced.

To use the compiled binaries, you must own the game

Was expecting a catch. Still good for modding I guess

Anyone know if this is a technologically-enforced “must” or just a “pretty please”?

Open source does not mean that the intellectual property is free. There's a lot of good that comes from this, and it's not like those games are expensive.
