Is possible to use quake model files for commercial projects?

From the id website http://www.idsoftware.com/business/home/technology/techlicense.php

many people don’t realize exactly what releasing the source under the GPL means, and don't understand how to exploit the opportunity to use the code. Thus, the GPL'd QUAKE engine is perhaps one of the most under utilized game technologies available. If, for example, you have an amateur team that is long on talent but short on cash and needs a proven engine to develop a game that can be distributed commercially, it doesn’t get much better than “Free.” If you abide by the GPL terms, then the QUAKE technology is truly just a gift from id. And, unlike some “bargain” licensors, we don’t impose ANY restrictions on your distribution channel: retail, Internet, shareware, magazine coverdisk – whatever YOU choose. This is really the perfect way to get noticed as a company or design team because you can do something cool and get paid, too."

I would take that to be a yes - provided you do mean QUAKE and not QIII.
