Changes to OpenTTD Distribution on Steam
Honestly fair and understandable. OpenTTD builds on TTD (it's right there in the name.)
You aren't forced to play OpenTTD and you aren't forced to get it on Steam/GoG.
It's acceptable.

OpenTTD now has a totally free asset pack covering everything, it doesn't need the original TTD at all.

"builds on" in concept and by using the same three letters. Not builds on in a legal sense

It’s tricky. It started out by disassembling the commercial binaries. There may not be any original code left, but it’s certainly not a clean room project.
