Doesn't the shareware come with some license agreement which probably say not to do this?
It was released as freeware back when by EA originally, which is what openRA relies on. Later the source was released under GPL[1] during the CNC remastered collection from EA. [1] https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection/...

That's just the typical solution, I would be surprised if OpenTTD didn't used to do this too ?
IIRC there never was any kind of shareware version of TTD much less at any kind of stable URL that OpenTTD could automaticaly download. Also OpenTTD needed assets from particular version of TTD (different one than what I have as a boxed copy).

I was about to ask if the proceeds of the Steam version go to the OS project, but I see it's free-to-play. I should get it that way, it's convenient and auto-updates and the like, and they will get good statistics from Steam that way. But also I have a backlog of games I still need to finish, including ones that scratch a similar itch like Satisfactory and Factorio.
If you like Factorio, it's worth trying Dyson Sphere Program as well.

Man, TTD music was the only management game that made me HYPE to get down to managing. Like I vividly remember Sim City 3000 music as well, but that game was more chill, like a sunny winter day. TTD was like a spring day where you plan you call the pinkertons to bust some unions while smoking a cigar.
My mother's favorite game was Sim City 3000, and that soundtrack is still one of the best and my favorites. Such a groovy Jazz with variety. I'd love to find other artists like Jerry Martin did that soundtrack, most smooth jazz is too cheesy for me.
You can get more of his music on his web site Boom Bam Boom:
Fun fact - the OpenTTD project supports building for the web browser via Emscripten. I couldn't find an officially hosted version of it, so I've been using my own at https://openttd.pranay.codes . Pretty usable out of the box, but there are some issues with audio. I've been meaning to add features like cloud saves as well, because right now your games are dependent on the whims of browser storage.
