Gold Source is a version of Quake and Quake is open source so maybe that is an option for you.
Kind regards,

Open Source implementation (a recreation) of the GoldSrc engine
Based on Reverse-engineered (and bugfixed) HLDS aka ReHLDS and Id Tech sources (+ Xash and Metahook)
For more information about the project you can visit it's official Wiki
Since no one from Valve Corp doesn't want to even touch their original GoldSrc engine sources the decision to write a custom implementation of it was made
OpenGoldSrc (or simply OGS) is a custom implementation of the original GoldSrc engine based on the source code that was
used to create the GS - licensed by Valve version of QuakeWorld engine developed by Id Software
OGS isn't oriented on fully cloning the GoldSrc - mostly cloning the same module structure and provide some new features
OGS RW17 is a spiritual successor of Magenta Engine which is using the same Quake engine sources and modern C++ features
OGS is an different signt on how the original GoldSrc should look like in present time if Valve still had work on it

Licensed under the terms of GPLv3, see the LICENSE file for details
Some of the code is originally written by Valve LLC and licensed under terms of Valve license which not fully compatible with GPL because it doesn't allow to sell the product
This product is also not fully legal because it uses the sources that aren't officialy open-sourced (sorry V) by Valve LLC (and won't be because they doesn't want even to touch the engine now)
The sources probably would be rewritten to new impl (that will use the new C++ standards features) to be more legal
