<p>This project aims to build upon id Software's Quake 3 source code release. The source
code was released on August 20, 2005 under the
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html" title="General Public License">GPL</a>.
-Since then, we have been feverishly cleaning up, fixing bugs, and adding features. Our
-eventual goal is to have created <em>the</em> Quake 3 source code distribution upon which
-people base their games, ports, and mods. Our focus initially is to get the game working
-with our updates on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Sane new features are also welcome.
-Modern graphical upgrades (ie. bloom lighting) would have to be disabled by default.
