Credit: Owen Rudge (orudge), posting as administrator of TT-Forums on 6 March 2004 at 19:26, announcing the first release of OpenTTD.
Notes: The contemporaneous release announcement: Ludvig "Ludde" Strigeus's C reconstruction of TTD, released by Rudge, 95% complete, and still needing the Windows TTD graphics and sample.cat to run. The first post is the primary statement; the thread's later posts are players' reports and are not used here.

Rudge released OpenTTD 0.1 as open source on 6 March 2004, naming it himself, with a SourceForge project and a forum on TT-Forums. His release-day post calls it Ludde's "C reconstruction of TTD", 95% complete, and tells players to copy Transport Tycoon Deluxe's Windows graphics and sound file to run it.	`first post, orudge, 06 Mar 2004 19:26first post, orudge, 06 Mar 2004 19:26first post, orudge, 06 Mar 2004 19:26`	Dev blog
