[Gtkradiant] using radiant with another engine

[Timothee Besset]

GtkRadiant is not a 'gnu' release. It is open source, covered by Id's
Licensing. It is free for non-commercial use, but commercial use will
require a specific Licensing deal with Id software for the editing tools.

Email me directly if you want more information.

TTimo
