Can someone list user-made/fan-made indie 3d games like gta or gta clones that can be found on the internet?
The list I know of is:
    Crime city 3d
    Crimelife 2 & 3
    Gangs of new york
    Miami traffic 1,2,3 & 4
    Streatham hill stories
    Grab the auto
    Las vegas citygangster
    Police tactics
    Hammerman 2
    Chicago crime simulator
    Real crime gangsters

The first 6, i'm not sure about the others but I presume freeware also, judging by the quality. Most of the bottom 6 are for android.

I think a more appropriate question for this forum is: which, if any, of them are open source?

Hmm, this forum is called FreeGameDev and I need to use the term open source?

Well judge by yourself if your usage of the term "free" was properly understood by the OP...

This is not about the Holy Bearded Wars of The FSF VS The OSI, it's about using terms that people will understand. This forum is very badly named, half the new posters expects it to be about freeware.
In such a context of people with no free software culture, the term "open source" is clearer, whether you like it or not. It still sucks though, as nowadays many people seem to consider that "open source" means "source available", like the Unreal Engine 4, thus totally ignoring the OSD and the four fundamental liberties of free/open source/libre software that it states...

So, all in all, only libre works, it's what I always used and will continue to use, as it cannot be misinterpreted.

Well since you are showcasing the reasoning and observation skills of a 10 year old, I will enlighten you by pointing you to the tagline of the main forum page:

FreeGameDev Forums

Case in point. (If you can point me to the source code for those games I'll stand corrected).

Of course it is only Free with a capital F /s

Edit:
Insider jokes aside: I kind of think the free in freegamedev isn't that bad as it provides us with a constant opportunity to educate the masses about the difference between freeware and Free/libre software.

Hehe that's a good way of seeing it, and it's true that there is a lot of work for us to educate the masses. This forum shows but the tip of iceberg :)

Or maybe gplv3+licensedgamedev.net.

To repeat the question: Which of the games are free software / open source?

PS: “free software” and “open source” mean basically the same thing (look up the official definitions, e.g. copyleft is NOT a requirement), so please calm down a bit.
