When Quake was GPL'd, several projects sprang up anew, some based on non-free data, some based on entirely new data. What data they depend on (the QuakeC source) has been freely licensed. Unless they also use Quake's color palette, which has a "You gotta be kidding, it's a list of gradients! I don't care what you do with it!" sort of license. =) -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Free software developer * boren tosses matlab across the room and hopes it breaks into a number aproaching infinite peices
