I sent the last reply before I finished.

*Question for Tim..* Since you seem to know a good bit about the licensing..

Quake 1 and Quake 2 Engines are both GPL'd..

Quake 3's source was released under the GPL Terms, but the engine is not
GPL.

You will see this very information by viewing the Technology Download
section at ID's site. Both quake 1 / 2 include a reference to the GPL'd
engines, whereas Quake 3 does not..

So what is the real difference here?
