I thought doom, doom2, and quake were released as freeware. In which case it
would be ok just to offer the cds for free download...

code was released as GPL != freeware.

Data / artwork / sound is still closed, and copyrighted. So its not ok
to offer the cd's for download.

Just clarifying a bit...

code meaning the core or I think they usually call it the engine. It's 
what makes the game act the way it does or the bad guys/monsters act the 
way they do. The data/artwork/sound is what makes different games simply 
look different. I recall a few years back where it was ID Software I 
think, would license their popular game engine to other companies. People 
often commented on how similar the games were (outside of the look).

Nope, the engines for those (and wolf3d) have been released under the  
GPL, but the game parts (doom.wad, etc) are not, and thus you still  
need a copy of the game.
