It will be interesting to see how id (or Carmack himself) will react to eventual pull requests. As far as I know the code has been frozen once released as Free

  I really doubt they'll react at all. id releases source code when they're done with it. There's little reason for them to invest much time in a commercially dead codebase, they've always got new stuff to work on.

    A git pull request is a request for the owner to merge a change or fix you have done back into the original. It's called a pull request because you are asking that they pull the change from your fork.

      time is spent evaluating pull requests. time they will almost certainly not want to invest, as they are no longer using it themselves.

        I imagine communities will manage a few forks until there's mainly one or two main builds people use.

          Already exists (at least for many products). This happens when the source is released, not when id posts the pre-community source to github.

            I just meant I imagine it will happen on GitHub as well. That's all.

  If you want to see patched and updated versions of the open-source id games, icculus.org hosts several relevant projects. http://www.icculus.org/ http://www.icculus.org/

  Before ttimo left he merged some pull requests to the Doom3 source https://github.com/TTimo/doom3.gpl/commits/master https://github.com/TTimo/doom3.gpl/commits/master
