Old-ish Source has a pretty generous license, no? https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/blob/master... GoldSrc is there somewhere as well. I’m definitely grateful for it. I’ve read some of it myself and watched a bunch of Youtube about it.

That repository is not the engine, it's just the code for the client.dll/server.dll binaries that contain game-specific logic and some other tools.
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife on the other hand is the full Half-Life (GoldSrc) engine, but it's not quite an open license.
That is just the SDK, but there is an unofficial open source implementation of goldsrc.

Also based on leaks/reverse-engineering.
I'm pretty sure this is just the mod SDK as well.
