Heretic and Hexen released as Free Software!
Woohoo!
Now if only I knew more about C Programming. 
The good news though is that someone out there does and is into Heretic and HeXen too. It’s only a matter of time before a full functional build is produced.

I have to say I’m a bit shocked at the low numbers for the petition (doesn’t matter now). The Diablo III art style petition garnered thousands of signatures (over 50k as of this writing) but this one didn’t even top out at 1k. Even so, I suppose that is a fair amount of interest in games that are over a decade old.
