This looks really slick and also very detailed. Is it free as in beer or free as in freedom?

Free as a beer due to assets.

- All the code is GPLv2, MIT and other open licenses.

- Some assets are CC-BY-SA but there are also a quite a bunch proprietary ones

Built on the Recoil engine: https://recoilengine.org/

Which is a fork of the Spring RTS engine: https://springrts.com/

It's completely free to play (though they/we have recently signed a publishing deal and there will be a paid for campaign mode later) with a combination of GPL and MIT source code.

Weird. Are you paying someone in order to access the game?
