It's not old news, as I stated here: http://tastyspleen.net/quake/forums/index.php?board=44;topic=17037.0#msg172407

As of the 2010 QuakeCon keynote, Carmack seemed guardedly unsure as to whether ZeniMax was going to allow id to continue their open source policy.

well yeah i know carmack was worried about zenimax being the game code nazi... but he was wanting/planning on releasing the idtech4 engine under gpl at the time of the rage release for a long time

i guess the real news is that zenimax is figuring out you dont own id
