Moved to Forum: Original Link
You've been patiently awaiting your crack at id Tech 4, the engine powering Doom 3, ever since id Software announced its intention to release the source code. Now, the wait is over! You can download it for yourself from GitHub right now.
No, you still need to buy the game for the data files.
dont think its a bargain per say:
anyway its now free…

Moved to Forum. Something made Open Source does not mean it's a bargain. Not to mention that Carmack said that it would have been open sourced years ago. The data files are also not free so people still need to pay to play Doom 3.
Maybe with id Tech 4 being open sourced, we'll see more FOSS games…
Putting this as a bargain is a bit of a stretch…
Forums?
99% of people who see this won't be able to get it to compile if they try (or even know where to start), and even if you get that far you still need the resource files (models, maps, sounds etc) to run it which aren't GPL.
There are plenty of better 3D engines which are open and doing the rounds now. Unless there's some really niche optimisation technique you're trying to learn about I can't see how too many people will find any use in this.
Deleted once I saw the thread had been moved.
So is Doom 3 also free now?
