That's not clear from the article. Even if that's the case, it still gives away the studio's IP the moment they discontinue the game. Counter strike wouldn't exist if these "freedoms" were in effect when half-life ended support.

No. You don't receive any rights to use the IP when you buy the game, so you don't get them when the publisher decided to discontinue it.
