Gog includes Warsow for no cost in your library. (Gog is noted for selling DRM free versions of proprietary games. Mostly they have older classic games available.)

I've been playing at Warsow at work for two years now, and it's lot of fun if you're playing with a group of friends/colleagues!

On the down side, I tried to contribute time to fix the OS X build when the 1.5 release came out, and it was not a very good story. There was no public repository that I could find, and people in the forums were mostly non-responsive. Even now, it looks like the GitHub account doesn't include all of the game's source code (and, crucially, build system).

Quake being primarily multiplayer-oriented? I beg to differ; Q1 was essentially a single-player game with some multiplayer tacked on (it had a grand total of four deathmatch-specific maps, and wasn't designed to be run over the Internet at all). Q2 much the same. Q3A was purely multiplayer, this is true; Q4 I don't really know (I never played it much), but it certainly had a single-player campaign.
