Apparently
Mythic Entertainment (
who run Ultima Online) asked EA to release them for
free "
as a gift to the Ultima fandom and a thank you to all of the series’ many devoted fans."

Mad props to
them!!
Also, there is a bug in the character creation that currently makes the games unplayable.
GOG is looking into how to solving this problem.
