Freeciv is not free-to-play, it's Free Software.
Which means that playing it is also free, no?
Free-to-play refers to a specific type of game distribution model where the game itself is free, but it includes microtransactions, an optional subscription, or both.
Free Software is software that is given freely to the world in its entirety, source code included. It's different because of the complete lack of profit motive, in most cases.
Not always, here are some paid open source games on itch.io
Although not all of them are free as in libre, developers are encouraged to charge for free software.
Free to play is an implication that something else costs money. If it's all free it's just a free game.
