I fully agree to Baker.
It is not quite understandable, that people realease wonderful things and dont include the source.
Yes, a huge amount of work was put into some projects, and I somehow can understand some authors,
who do not want that others misuse their work, by re-releasing things with tiny modifications and claim
to be their work (wihtout crediting).
But a community never forgets "who made what", and all work is based on the gift from ID to us.
As far as I know also Quoth source is not available, but I might be wrong...
A similar thing is:
Mappers, who realese their work with .map file included.
(I am not sure if .map is the uncompiled "source" file of .bsp. But I think you understand what I mean.)
Some great maps also have a modified progs.dat (usualy without source too)
So people who want to do similar things, need to re-invent the whell everytime...
But luckily we have inside3d, and all the helping people to support others.
