    Note that this is only the game code that allows people to develop mods, and not engine code that allows people to do ports. The re-release engine code is still proprietary.

    They did the same with Quake 1 re-release game code

    if Quake II is under GPL-2.0…
    doesn’t it mean that Quake II has a good to high potential to be supported on Linux?

      The license doesn’t really matter, unless you mean it should be included in the kernel. If it was another permissive license, you could also port it to Linux. I have no clue if it’s actually possible to port it to Linux natively, but I would guess that you can

      Quake 2 has been GPL and had Linux versions since forever, even official ones from id.

      I assume this remaster uses the same engine. Maybe they used stuff from contributors/forks, that’s why they kept it open.
