geefau writes with news that id Software has released the source code to Return To Castle Wolfenstein (single player and multiplayer), along with Wolfenstein – Enemy Territory, under the GPL. The linked article notes that "these only include the game source code, not the graphics. You need the full games for those."

It is a shame that this was modded as flamebait. Software development, and the sub-genre of porting, and the sub-sub-genre of resurrecting old games while porting isn't impossible, but it takes a lot more than five minutes.
One that points out the obvious shouldn't be smacked around for telling the truth. If I were to write up a new use case for the GP's existing product, would he only give it five minutes to be implemented?
