i think this debate is pointless.

if id software would be so nit-picking they:
- wouldn't have released the sources for everything in the first place
- would have sued the makers of (for Q3) & Generations (for Q2) a long time ago
- would have sued MVDSV makers for making their server have an auto-download feature of maps which allows to download maps not included in the shareware version (this is debatable)

plus: look at Quake2! it still has some retail copies in stores, but you can play the multiplayer for free just by downloading Quake2 demo + 3.20 patch. if id software would care that much it wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

on the other hand Quake1 has no retail copies in stores (just rarities on ebay or so) and has engine & map sources released..

The one way is like being an illegal immigrant with fake papers, knowing almost no one cares, but having a burden you are lugging around, whether consciously or subconsciously.

The second way is like being made a citizen, knowing you can always walk in the front door.

I'd rather walk thru the front door.
