"You want code? Write it."
Modern software uses large numbers of libraries written by other people, ID's games included. If nothing else you need libc and OpenGL (or Direct3D or whatever). You want to write those?
"GPL is one of those licenses that force you to give away everything for free."
Look on it as payment for everything you get for free under the GPL. You'd prefer BSD? With that you *do* have to give everything away for free.
"You'd wish Carmack had to live from selling T-shirts, caps and CDs ?"
Yeah, no-one makes a living from Open Source. Apart from MySQL, RedHat, SuSE, everyone using Apache and Linux, etc. IBM and Apple use it, the film industry is getting big on it. Gaming is dragging its heels on this one.
