The Quake III engine (1999) was developed by id Software and is used in many games. The first game that used the engine was Quake III Arena, released in 1999. In its heyday, it competed with the Unreal engine, although both engines were widely licensed. The Quake III engine is a substantial improvement from the Quake and Quake II engines. Although the Quake III engine was derived from the Quake II engine, a large portion of code is new or re-written. It was succeeded by the Doom 3 engine, which was derived from the Quake III engine, but has none of the original code. At QuakeCon 2005, John Carmack announced that the Quake III source code would be released under the GPL, and it was released on August 19, 2005. The code can be downloaded from id's ftp site. www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=7547

And our programmers could use this code to make our groups games, correct? And we could sell our games using this engine? This is really good news I'm thinking.
