Quake III Arena was released in 1999. It was open-sourced in 2005.

(from the source release you can see benreesman remembered right: it was lcc)

Id Tech 3 was great, gave us a lot of forks.

Yeah, my favorite Q3 engine game was Jedi Outcast (the engine must have been licensed, since the game was released before 2005, when it was open sourced)

My childhood game from ioquake3 was Tremulous and a bit of Urban Terror, around the age of 14. Side-note: before that it was Armagetron Advanced, but that has nothing to do with Q3.
