PLEASE make sure that there's a README in the package that explicitly
spells this out:

  1) You may NOT redistribute downloaded install packages on physical media.
  2) The source code, being GPL'd, may be redistributed by network, disc,
     sneakernet, or carrier pigeon. #1 only applies to the game data.
  3) Those wishing to repackage the game data can negotiate a deal with id
     software.

We can not be responsible for people that will download this and repackage
it, so this disclaimer needs to be there, and be clear as day. I would
also put this as a footnote at the top of gpl.txt:

"please note that the following license only applies to the game source
code. The following additional restrictions apply to the game data:

  [blah].
"

If you are using a Loki Setup installer for this, there's an option in the
XML config file to show a README/EULA at startup.

In short, please don't send id's lawyers after my server.  :)
