John Carmack, during the Q&A session: "I won't commit to a date, but the Doom 3 stuff will be open source. We still make those decisions even today when we're doing the Rage code when we have decisions about "do we want to integrate some other vendor's solution, some proprietary code into this". And the answer's usually no, because eventually id Tech 5 is going to be open source also. This is still the law of the land at id, that the policy is that we're not going to integrate stuff that's going to make it impossible for us to do an eventual open source release."
As a long time player of id games on linux, I appreciate the fact that someone of Carmack's stature has never drank the microsoft cool aid. He's arguably the best game engine designer around, and since his stuff is OpenGL, all the id games are available natively on linux. And I've wasted countless hours playing them over the years - from doom in the early 1990s, to doom II , quake in 1997, then quake2 and quake 3 and their spinoffs, to RtCW and it's derivatives.
Of course that's not to diss the great ut2000,2004 titles, those rock as well.
