Isn't Quake already open source?

All of the Quake data files remain copyrighted and licensed under the original terms, so you cannot redistribute data from the original game, but if you do a true total conversion, you can create a standalone game based on this code.

As I understand it the engine is Foss but the assets aren’t, like the doom engine vs the doom wad.

So I would presume this libre alternative would have all the assets free, no?

According to their GitHub the art is BSD licensed and the rest GPL

This seems to be similar to Freedoom.
