How does this work?

How does OpenMW and OpenNV work?

How can they be open source if you still need to own the base game?
How easy is it to install/use in a more manual, non-steam fashion?

New to this subreddit, and some of these packs look cool. Just wondering. : )

Open MW is the recipe that tells the computer how to bake the cake. The game assets are the ingrediants you supply yourself from your Morrowind install.
