However, even before then Skulltag used ZDoomGL which had the same license as Zdoom. But hey, who cares as long as the game is fun in the end then who really cares about a few license issues for something that is free to play to begin with?

Skulltag chose to use that license rather than the GPL.

After all, it is based on the source code that was released by id software, which is licensed under GNU GPL. That license states that if you modify the sources and distribute the result you also have to release the modifications of the source code!
