It requires game resources (assets like music, maps, sprites), the assets from original game is not distributed with it because of legal reasons I suppose, but AFAIK nothing stops people from creating their own set of assets to use with this game engine. Also, taking only assets from original game and using them with this engine will help people not to use unfree software. Added comment, updated description.
