Quake 1 GPL'ed

Posted by Hemos on from the only-a-matter-of-time dept.

WarSpite was the first of many to write with the news that id has open-sourced the Quake 1 Source Code. This includes WinQuake, GLQuake, QuakeWorld, and GLQuakeWorld. Yes, it's been released under the GPL [?] . id's ftp site got the goods.

    You better make gibs, you better get frags
    You better shoot grunts, zombies and scrags
    Santa Carmack G-P... L'd Quake

    He's written some code, debugged it all twice
    Then made it all free, isn't that nice
    Santa Carmack G-P... L'd Quake

    He knows when you've been fragging
    He knows when you've got quad
    He knows when you've just rocket jumped
    'Cause Carmack is Quake God

    So don't you be lame, don't you not play
    Join a net game, I'll frag you today
