During a chatter about the Rage mod tools, Tim Willits noted that Bethesda isn't getting in the way of source code releases, and that it's basically up to Carmack as to the hows and whens of when the Doom 3 engine gets opened. No word on when that will be, however.

Didn't Carmack say they won't release source codes anymore, since idtech4 and upwards use so much third party stuff in them?

No. They've never said anything like that. Because that's not true.

After all the interviews where Carmack complains about what a mistake it was to use DMX in Doom, I imagine that he'd want to avoid embedding any proprietary components into Id Tech 4.

You mean EAX? Which was only added because of Creative strongarming Id into adding it because of some patent claim they had with the way shadows were done in Doom3.
