Well, go download the source code from ID and find out. Quake II source has been opened up as well.

If you can't learn to do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly.

Guys, even though Quake/etc have been made open source, that is just for the engine.  You still need the game data/level files.  I believe you need to have a CD with all the game files on it even if you recompile the engine yourself (or create your own levels).  I don't believe you will find a site to download the entire game as that would be a copyright violation.  Correct me if I am wrong.  

Even with the Linux version you have to have the Quake CD with the game data files on it (which are not Windows/Linux specific). At least that is my experience.
