Given his experience and the OSS developer's experience in 3D gaming development, someone explain me what would Carmack gain from sharing his 3D engines.
What could he possibly learn from those who still have a lot to learn to reach his feet?
Yet he does share<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)
What are those good OSS things made with Doom and Quake engines? What value did the OSS developer community did with those engines?
My opinion so far is that he would be completely ripped off and gain nothing from it. He already has reputation, and ID already releases GPL 3D engines.
We're talking about Carmack, right? ;)
