[alm4rr]

QuakeCon has just kicked off and at the end of the keynote speech, John Carmack made an announcement saying that the Quake 3 sourcecode will be released shortly. It was also noted that the release "will not include any PunkBuster stuff in it".

Yeah what's this hype about? I've had the Quake 3 source on my system for well over a year.

This is the Quake 3 ENGINE source code! The one that costs in the hundreds to license. Now Carmack has made it GPL license. Not just the game-mod source code. Anyway, it is released. I just downloaded it.

Not the engine source code though, correct? There has been game mod source code for years.
