Freedoom



Freedoom is a project to create a Free Software/Open Source Doom IWAD file. Combined with the Free Source Code, this results in a complete Doom-based game. Material in the Freedoom project is released under the modified BSD license, so other projects may reuse the Freedoom material for their own purposes as they wish. In fact, this is a secondary goal of the project.

Levels for the project are Boom-compatible; some use Boom extensions. As such, a boom-compatible source port is neccessary to play the game, and Freedoom cannot be played with the original source code.

A subproject exists to create a free shareware wad file as a smaller demo of the project.

The project was started by and is maintained by Simon Howard and Jon Dowland and it’s still in work.
