q3wcp and other q3w... maps are from original Threewave CTF Mod. They are free to use, just like any other custom maps from mods (like OSP, cpma, Rocket arena and so on) or seperate custom maps.
By Q3 maps I meant only the levels that were originally included in id games: Quake 3 Arena and Team Arena. As those games are not freeware, maps can't be legally used without permission (besides: to use them we must first extract bsp and aas files from q3a pk3s as well as textures and so on. It can be done easily, but is illegal:)). Id Tech 3 is unleashed, but all graphical content of id games is not.
It causes a problem for us - many custom maps use original id textures. And some of those textures still don't have their equivalent in OA (there will be full texture replacement in 0.9.0 - that's the big goal). So to avoid big white squares, .pk3 I mentioned in my last post is needed. But as I said it's not a big problem, this pk3 can be found everywhere. I have one in my fridge
ok. so much for this crap
This weekend I'll add some maps to my list.
