My own maps are all available under GPL too. However, nobody can browse them right now because this new server doesn't allow directory listing. My attempt to enable it with .htaccess files didn't work, so I guess I'll just have to create an HTML page. 

Vondur (Q1 and Q3):
http://wp.vondur.net/index.php?page_id=2

RPG (Q1):
http://rpg.leveldesign.org/maps.html
On each map's page.

CZG (Q1):
http://czg.leveldesign.org/files/terra_src.zip

Tyrann (Q1):
http://disenchant.net/maps.html

Nexuiz (Q3BSP):
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=81584&package_id=153676
Included in each release.
I forgot where their cvs/svn is, might be easier to snatch the sources from there.

OpenQuartz (Q1):
http://openquartz.sourceforge.net/
Included in the pak0.pak or http://openquartz.cvs.sourceforge.net/openquartz/pak0/maps/

Tremulous (Q3BSP):
http://tremulous.net/files/
Probably included in the releases.

All the OpenArena map sources should be somewhere, I cannot be arsed to browse through that 4chan/gargoyle stuff though...


Oh well, I wanted to sleep now. 

 

my maps are so crapy that i have to pay for someone use my idears :p 

If you want the warp source - or else just get it straight from quaddicted / the shub hub.

I put a password on the zipfile: warpspasm is your open sesame. 

My Q3DM maps are also GPL.

Didn't mention before but the original source link is broken - I also went to the site to try and post a corrected one but couldn't find the download in news archives or anywhere else.

Wierd. 

The link works for me, try this otherwise:
http://www.quaddicted.com/files/quake_map_source.zip

czg & RPG: Whoops. :) 

Forgot the obvious. 

... it's Creative Commons share-alike with attribution.

Big difference!

GPL requires almost no overhead, whereas the Creative Commons licenses are a true nightmare with a trillion billion restrictions and all kinds of documentation requirements.

Don't forget Tyrann's maps are GPL ...

Great thread, by the way.

Tremulous is based upon the GPL source release of the Quake 3 game engine. As a result the Tremulous code is also licensed under the GPL. This means that not only is Tremulous free in terms of monetary value, it is also free in the sense that you are free to use and examine it. 

As a result the Tremulous code is also licensed under the GPL

It's the Quake 3 engine so the engine has to be GPL. Just like how the Warsow engine is GPL or any standalone game that uses DarkPlaces.

But the game media is not GPL with Tremulous, nor is it with Warsow. The game content in Tremulous is Creative Commons Share-Alike With Attribution, a non-GPL compatible license. 

They are doing a great job not writing that on their site. Blergh. :( 

No mine.. I never provided the .map file with the .bsp/.lit files...
And just a (stupid) question: what would be the benefits to provide .map files ? 

JPL: Other than if someone would more easily want to make a remake or remix of a map, I dunno... 

Do you really think somebody would like to make a remake of any of my meany map ? No way.... 

JPL, there are many reasons to release your map sources under the GPL.

Among them, someone could use structures in your maps in other maps and do it with a clean conscience and any decent person is going to credit the author.

Case in point, let's say someone wants to make a base map and wants to put some fighter jets in the hangar.

If Event Horizon's map sources were GPL, they might decide to copy those structures to the new map.

Someone who cares about licenses is going to be an honest and decent person. I mean, some dishonest person could decompile a map and take anything they want.
