thats right they are useless that way, so compiling the quake3 source is free.
so making a quakebased game is free. so that won't make it ilegal, but the fact that i am using some ripps of the 3d demo is an other thing to talk about.

The source may be free to use, and you may be free to distribute the compiled version of that code (assuming you compiled it), but that doesn't do you much good if you still require any of the original game assets. I am fairly certain that you are not free to redistribute any of the game assets, because those were not released with the code. That means, no models, no sounds, no graphics other than what you put into it yourself.
Then again, you didn't make that Jazz model either. If we're already using assets from an unreleased beta, what's a few more assets from an old game that everybody probably has anyway...

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.</div><div style="text-align: right; text-size: 80%;">1 Corinthians 13:4-7</div>
