  Commit dates don’t necessarily correspond 1:1 to the dates they became public though, so it might be hard to tell.

    From the OpenArena page on wikipedia: "The OpenArena project was established on August 19, 2005, one day after the id Tech 3 source code released under GNU GPL license." The id Tech 3 wikipedia page "id Tech 3, popularly known as the Quake III Arena engine" Someone tried for a pull request in Oct 2017 with 3,275 commits, still pending. I can't find any evidence that anything new has happened.

      The "canonical" open source version of Quake 3 (Arena?) is ioquake - https://github.com/ioquake/ioq3 https://github.com/ioquake/ioq3 / https://ioquake3.org https://ioquake3.org. Last commit 18 hours ago.

        OpenArena is based on ioquake3. OA is basically just free game data so you don't have to own Quake III: Arena itself to play a complete game.

  It's the Zenimax buyout and John Carmack stepping down & out. It's the end of the iD era.

  Because you should not use this unmaintained original source, but the various mods around. There are many, but different for each game. Eg https://ioquake3.org https://ioquake3.org for latest quake 3 arena. When I did my first mods 1995 there was no source code under GPL just reverse engineered format descriptions, but I was able write writers in Lisp to write maps in acad. This was fun.

    Funny that somebody tried to submit a pull request for merging IoQuake 3 with the original sources: https://github.com/id-Software/Quake-III-Arena/pull/3 https://github.com/id-Software/Quake-III-Arena/pull/3
