Notes: The notes id shipped with the source of its iPhone port, in the idstuff directory mirrored from id's FTP site. Cited for the licensing history of the original Wolfenstein 3D source: first a not-for-commercial license, later the GPL.

Cited on

id Software first released the Wolfenstein 3D source under a limited-use license and later relicensed it under the GPL: the repo's LICENSE.DOC is the "LIMITED USE SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT", and John Carmack wrote in 2009 that he released the source "originally under a not-for-commercial purposes license, then later under the GPL", and in a 2011 mail, quoted in Debian's wolf4sdl copyright file, "Yes, we relicensed it under the gpl years ago." No source here dates the relicensing.		Dev blog
