Redistributing game assets like this is legal how? https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM-3/blob/master/neo/sys/li...

Do the demo assets have a less restrictive license?

If you wanted to be pedantic, probably not, but given how easy it is to just download the shareware version yourself and open the WAD files or whatever, what's the point? Would be a silly restriction.

Sure but it wouldn't be the first time a rights holder sued over a "silly restriction". If someone wants to take that risk then more power to them but they should be aware it is a risk unless they have a specific assurance.

I double checked on the License specific to the demo (License.txt in the install), and it is indeed less restrictive. However this might be gray area
