OpenTS follows years of community research, reconstruction, engineering, and testing. This page honors the people, projects, and communities whose earlier work made OpenTS possible.
OpenTS builds on work by Command & Conquer community members who studied, documented, patched, tested, and extended Tiberian Sun before this project.
CCHyper worked on Electronic Arts' Command & Conquer open-source releases for the Remastered Collection and the 2025 The Ultimate Collection. Those releases provide much of OpenTS's source foundation.

OpenTS uses GPL-licensed source from these Electronic Arts releases:
- Command & Conquer Remastered Collection
- Command & Conquer Red Alert
- Command & Conquer Tiberian Dawn
- Command & Conquer Renegade
- Command & Conquer Generals and Zero Hour
The additional GPL Section 7 terms covering that material are in LICENSE.md.
Community fixes for the original executable live in ts-patches, and Vinifera carries that work into a source-level engine extension. When OpenTS ports a fix, its manual change record credits the author where possible.
