Did Tremulous purchase the Q3 engine license?

Did Tremulous legally purchase the Q3 engine source code license? 'Someone' asked me on the FileFront forums, and I had to tell her I didn't know yet.

Source has been released under gpl iirc, assets have not.

Hmm...ermm, I don't really know what I'm talking about, so I'll just link you to the post, and you can reply from there: http://forums.filefront.com/filefront-com-help-center/337993-tremulous-filefront-network-site.html

It's worth signing up, anyway.

Basically, the company that made Q3 (id) said to everyone, "you can now use the Q3 engine for free, here's the code for it."  ... basically.

But none of the art.

Hmm, ok, thanks. I'll tell her, and maybe we can get a Tremfiles.filefront.com up, if anyone else is interested.

Do you have a link to the document where id said that? Just for some more proof.

If you're looking for the most "bang for your buck" - congratulations, your search is over! idTech3 is available through the same GPL (free) and non-GPL ($10,000) options.

You can edit your posts by the way.

Nah, the devs spent $3,899 of the donations on Q3 licensing and patent agreements. The whole GPL thing is a cover-up.
