The original PC port for Wipeout was very poor, looks like someone has made a proper PC port utilizing PS1 data: https://github.com/wipeout-phantom-edition

I think the source code download is automatically added by GitHub when you create a release in a project, and I don't know that there's any way to remove it. So I don't think the "source code" download is necessarily intentionally misleading, but apart from that, yeah, you're absolutely right. It is a bit of a shitty way to use GitHub.

The source code archives weren't explicitly placed by that person but everyone who ever used Github knows exactly that this happens. Even a quick glance at the URL suggests it's an open source implementation of the engine.
