That part says a gpl program can't be incorporated into programs of 
proprietary licences, not exactly that case. And I think a this point, a
legal mailing list would be better. I'll check if FSF offers mailing to
help in such matters.

by the way, just in case that's what you meant, I find it of little
importance to have such a program in a way that ships with the q3 
sources. having the gamers get the anticheater afterwars seems a
technicality to me that only spends some minor time to the gamers
(exactly like pb does..).
