I like post which deals with many interesting facts regarding concern process.Far fewer artists are going to be willing to use the GPL. And there are few if any previously available art assets (such as those that Tremulous uses extensively) under the GPL or Free Art License or whatever.

I was digging around the id software ftp site, and noticed an idstuff2 folder and dug deeper to find an mdl folder with different models. Well I downloaded one that touted a player model, etc but only to find that it was merely the normal player model with new skins.

It's kinda odd how id allows this?

That's because they allow it in the strict context that it's a component/addon depending on their full, registered product. Same goes for any modified doom graphics/sounds in idgames/. It DOES NOT MEAN IT'S "free to use for your free games". The same even applies to additional content supplied in patches, such as Quake2 3.14+ or q3 1.17+ patches. You legally can't use those outside their intended games, even if it is technically possible.
