how would this differ from simply modding currently q3 supported games such as Deus Ex, SoF2 and CoD? more freedom? (wait... Deus Ex... that's supported by the UT engine i think)

The actual source code to the game engine is being released un der the GPL license. This means you can edit the game and everything about and release it as your own game. Not just a mod. However, under the GPL license, you have to disclose your source code with it. This is the same release that game developers get when they pay for licensing of the game engine. The difference with paying for the license is that they can keep their source code (changes to the game) secret. That's what you are paying for.
