His status as webmaster of one of the most influential Doom sites earned Stine a widespread reputation. He used his influence in October 1999 in convincing [[John Carmack]] to re-license the [[Doom source code]] under the GNU GPL.
<blockquote>''One of the founders of [http://www.doomworld.com/ Doomworld], Linguica ([[Mordeth]] - Co-Founder & Resources Maintainer) "quit" Doomworld in 2003 but soon found that the site still had a hold on him, almost like some sort of chemical that causes cravings by altering body chemistry, if such a thing existed. Although he never "officially" re-joined the staff, Linguica now enjoys the most envied position on the site: he does what he wants without bothering about any sort of "obligation" or "consequences". Among Linguica's contributions are the design of this website, the code that runs this website, a lot of the content on this website, and legal paternity of everyone that reads this website.''</blockquote>
