Original Doom used proprietary DMX audio library https://doomwiki.org/wiki/DMX, didnt stop Carmack and Raven from releasing sources.

Per the article they only open sourced the Linux port, which had already had DMX stripped out and replaced with an open source alternative.

Engines have grown a bit more complex since then anyway, there isn't an open source library that could easily replace Wwise.
