Doom 3 is now under GPL 3

The box art for Doom 3

Doom 3, one of the greatest and critically acclaimed games of all time is now open sourced. That's right, you heard it right.. Doom 3 is under GPL 3 license. John Carmack has a history of releasing his games under the GPL license & he kept his promise. Doom 3 is built around OpenGL, it was compatible with Windows, Linux & Mac. It was delayed for 18 months because the hardware which was required to run the game wasn't available at that time. So, download the source code, compile it & enjoy Doom 3. BTW, be prepared to see loads of first person shooters with Doom 3 engine in the coming months.
