Quake3e, a modern Quake III Arena engine

Both Quake3e and ioquake3 are engines, but not the game. To play, you still need pak0.pk3 file which is not free. It is included if you buy the game. Bethesda [1], GOG [2], Steam [3].

Open Arena is an open source shooter based on the original open source quake 3 engine that you can play without licensing the original creative work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenArena

I used to like OpenArena, but there often is a lot of cheating/aimbotting and no one ever does anything.

You could conceivably download the demo and use that too, right?

You can, but it doesn't have all assets.

[2] Doesn't work for me. I get redirected to https://www.gog.com/games?page=1&sort=popularity. Is it geo blocking?

Not sure, but it works from US.

You can still play standalone mods with q3e or ioq3 and not need baseq3.
