And has been for a very long time...

>  So since quake 1 is now free 

No, the source code is free. The maps are not.

> how can I unlock my shareware version of quake1. 

"registered 1" for starters, but unless you've got one of the rare 
versions of Quake that was complete but restricted to shareware, you 
ain't never going to turn a 5MB demo into a 50MB game with an unlock key 
- assuming there are no 45MB unlock keys around  :)
