I’m not well versed in C&C, but it’s always good to see more games open sourced.
No matter what you think of EA, this is fantastic news.

This feels more like some o.g. Command and conquer devs who have worked at EA for a long time that are passionate about the franchise. There was no big PR release, no product tie in or announcement, no media campaign.
Recovering and restoring the source code for these titles was made possible through the combined efforts of EA technical director Brian Barnes, Respawn producer Jim Vessella, and Luke Feenan, a long-standing member of the C&C community who was involved in the development of the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection.

I feel like at some point, EA became the least hated major studio by staying exactly where they were. The rest of the industry zoomed past them.
