It would be cool if most we're adapted and made into mods for Half-Life 2.

I doubt sales will be affected much

That's right. But as you said, a lot of free games might appear because once released, those who wish to play around with the code and other bits will do so.

Isn't the code copyrighted to them?

So anyone trying to make commercial profit off of it would have to do the same things the code does but program them in a different way?

I'm sure a lot of unofficial, free games will turn up using the code but surely the code's copyrighted so no-one can make a commercial product from it without asking for permission/paying Vivendi/Valve a lot of money?

Yeah I did, but the beauty is my answer works on both occasions.
