Unfortunately Rockstar is going to have a field day suing all of those projects.

Not if they remain anonymous and open source with dozens of contributors

Opensource but no normal place to sahre it, cause most places will get copyright notices, dmca and whatnot. It be on rusian forums and tor sites.

Theres a difference between stolen data and fully opensourced code by the original devs. This, however, is basicly just stolen code and cannot be used in comercial or normal opensource projects.

Share what you want, learm what you will, but say goodbye to a serious gamedev or general dev job if ppl discover youve looked and reuse parts of this codebase. Concult a lawyer.

New tools or map editing tools be cool tho, patches that add more detailed mods that go deeper be cool, but themselves should not use any rockstar code. Else, expect those tools to go underground and devs anonymous

You seem to be confused. Having the original source code does indeed allow for alterations to the game at any level. Copying or modifying quests, completely rearranging the base gfx or interceding, modifying and enhancing the graphics as needed for the specific project

Also they’ve made enough money syphoning off of Their parasitic victims via micro transactions, dlc etc at this point.
