'''Freedoom''' is a project to create a [[Wikipedia:Free software|free content]] game based on the [[Doom engine]]. All material in the project is released under a modified BSD license, so other projects may reuse any of the Freedoom resources for their own purposes. Freedoom is still under active development, not having yet reached a version 1.0, which should signify a complete set of resources, including sprites, textures, levels, music, etc, and some form of quality control over all of the project.
