So quake 1 has been GPL'd. So since quake 1 is now free for all practical
purposes, how can I unlock my shareware version of quake1. Anybody got a key
generator?

And has been for a very long time...

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

"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  :)

Yeah - I've got one of these rare CDs. I've got a key too. Just can't unlock
it since it won't run on XP. I've got a win98 machine laying around. Guess
I'll install it there and then copy all the files over.
