Deciding for the moment not to enforce a proprietary license is nothing alike a free creative commons license.
Epic games can turn around and start enforcing their proprietary licenses and will do so at any moment they deem it profitable to do so.
>would be groundwork that could finally unleash it's freedom potential.
Unfortunately, even if it was made legal to distribute, modify and run abandonware, software without the source code in the preferred format for modification is not free.
The only way to turn a decomplication project into free software would be to have copyright permission to do the decomplication and release it under a free license and then reverse engineer every single line, cleaning up and adding comments as needed and then the resulting binaries from that source code would be free.
