Shame that one of the most interesting parts was left out because of a very old power grab... 
Still, worth a look.

Indeed, it's sad to see software patents continuing to restrict software development like this. Here we see the chilling effect of software patents, even if the company owning the patent doesn't threaten anything - sometimes filing for a software patent is enough.
I bet it won't be long before it's added back in - I wonder if we'll see any legal battles trying to shut down any so-called "infringing" open source versions of Doom 3 that include Carmack's Reverse?

I know. I guess it wasn't as bad as they thought it would be though:
John Carmack said via Twitter. "This demonstrates the idiocy of the patent -- the workaround added four lines of code and changed two."
