    Quake III source to be released

    According to PlanetQuake (and I'm sure it'll also on the Quakecon website soon too) John Carmack has announced that the source code to QIII will be made available.
    The Quake III Arena source code will be released as soon as they can put it all together! It was also noted that the release "will not include any PunkBuster stuff in it".
    Nice!
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Just saw this too.

    I want to know what made him decide to release it now.

    Is there a problem with QIV? that means its not going to be out for a LONG time?

    huh? all old id engines have been released under the GPL. quake 3 is LONG overdue for release, caused (i think) by an outstanding commerical licensor
