This has been discussed in Quake 3 Source-thread before.

However, it seems unlikely there will ever be m68k port, as the source code for the required minigl.library is not available. Whether it's GPL violation or not is hard to tell, especially since the binary archive has no mention of license at all. The binary archive should include mention of these things. See Violations of the GPL, LGPL, and GFDL.

Earlier version of minigl is GPL incompatible anyway:
Code: [Select]

1. MiniGL may only be compiled for/incorporated in code running on
   AmigaOS. This only applies to MiniGL, you are free to port an
   application using MiniGL to another OpenGL implementation on other
   platforms.


While GPL says:
Code: [Select]
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients'
exercise of the rights granted herein.
