The EULA states that you are not allowed to remove Steam’s DRM from the game, so the compiled version and the Steam version will have to be authenticated through Steam’s servers anyway.

Yeah, according to the Contributing.md on the github it is missing some files that are included if you buy a copy of the game:
Basically like OpenTTD/OpenRCT: The engine is free but you gotta find your own assets.
