Descent 3 Source Code
Freespace is open source.
I am not familure with the.. um.. I guess you could call it the landscape of the freespace community but this was a top search result.
https://www.hard-light.net/
and here is a github project that looks correct.
https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com
And now, for free, an opinion. I enjoyed decent, but did not like freespace, I am sure there is fun subtlety to the game, but I bounces off it hard, combat in open space ended up being just these really boring circle battles. Much funner combat when you have tight claustrophobic corridors to deal with.

Are there Open Source Games?
That last one is an open source engine for a trio of existing free games, but if we count open source engines for commercial games the amount of famous examples grows exponentially. All id Software games up to Doom 3 have had their engines made open source and have a huge number of modern versions available for all of them. So Arcane Dimensions, the greatest by a mile Quake campaign ever made, was completed just three years ago and you need a modern open source engine like vkQuake to play it - even the Quake Remastered engine can't handle the huge AD maps. There's also an open source Morrowind engine, an open source Freespace 1/2 engine (Diaspora above actually runs on this), an open source point and click engine called ScummVM that runs so many old adventure games it's almost an emulator...

Dan Wentz, composer for Freespace series at Violition games, has released a remastered soundtrack of Freespace 2
If you want those, you can download them through fan-made launcher here: https://www.hard-light.net/ (scroll down until you find Knossos Mod Manager). The minimal size of the download is 3+ GB, and it defaulted the in-game resolution to 4K, which I had to change in the launcher's settings. If you want to install that, look for "Freespace Upgrade MediaVPs" in the "Explore" tab.

Slay the Spire 2 Announced – Using Godot
It's probably not as rigorous as what you're thinking of but the devs of DCSS have cited online win rates of certain combinations as the impetus for balance changes before.

The Mana World Classic – Open-Source Mmorpg
In a similar vein, see Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, a free and open-source roguelike that's been continuously developed by volunteers for 20 years: http://crawl.develz.org/

Trog
They are entirely too humanoid. I mean, look at these splash screens: Kiku, Ignis, Chei. While those images shouldn't be taken as canonical, they at least demonstrate the general inhumanity of the Crawl pantheon.

Games you can play for 20+ hours and not get bored?
Since you like turn-based games too, try some old-school roguelikes. Many are open-source freeware so you have nothing to lose but time. I've been playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup for almost 10 years.

any suggestions for a beginner roguelike? something that's not infuriating
Since Brogue's already been mentioned, I'd add Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Tales of Maj Eyal as pretty beginner friendly games.

new Oka should have the option to refuse gifts, like refusing Ru sacrifices
For people who don't follow trunk, Okawru's gifting has been changed (and arguably* nerfed):

Game to Play at Work
My personal first timer recommendation? Maybe Nethack or Dungeon crawl?
- Early thoughts on the new shapeshifter (transmuter) mechanics
- Games without a hunger mechanic.

What is your favourite open source game(s)?
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - Free traditional roguelike with fair mechanics and a lot of variety between species/skill/god choices (~25 gods and maybe with the exception of sif/veh and oka/trog, they are very distinct). The tiles are great. There's many developers and they are very welcoming of code or vault contributions. Reducing incentives to play tediously is one of the goals. Easily hundreds of hours of gameplay for free. Playable online (connecting to a server through your browser/terminal) or offline (terminal or tiles version). There have been win streaks of 50+ games with a variety of species/background combos so you know it's mostly fair(it IS possible for rng to give you an unwinnable game), but it's very difficult if your goal is to win every game.
