Open Source Version
The source code to the engine was released under the GPL license in November 2011. There have since been several modifications. You can view the different branches and changes, as well as download them, from the github repository, if you are willing to compile the code yourself. The same group that worked on ioQuake3 has said they will add features to the code and release compiled binaries under the title ioDoom3. You will have to obtain the art assets separately.
