That is quite disappointing. I was unaware it was modified GPLv3+,
though that does explain the extra paragraph at the top of each source
file... Your timing was prefect, I was about to starting to changing
to GPLv3+ right now.

If Zenimax/id Software is (possibly) violating the GPL should someone
tell the FSF? Maybe Zenimax/id Software would rerelease it using the
unmodified GPLv3+? :-(
