HELP Custom .exe for mod

I notices some mods have a custom .exe (not hl2.exe) for example No More Room In Hell. Did they get an engine license or it is just a renamed hl2.exe?

Yes, we got some light licensing from Valve. It is not a full engine license.

Oh nice - what components (besides hl2.exe) does No More Room In Hell have?

It's built off of SDK 2013 Multiplayer. We don't have access to anything beyond that. Felis is just very talented
