I just downloaded the wolfenstein 3D and doom sources yesterday and saw an interesting restrictive license: https://github.com/id-Software/wolf3d/blob/master/WOLFSRC/RE... I thought when Carmack originally released them they were GPL?

The original Doom license is not a free open-source license, and is in fact fairly restrictive. However you are right, the game was re-licensed a few years later under GPL, making the game dual-licenses under GPL and the Doom License.
