Kek, you can  only distribute through the internet (so vague, FTP? WWW?  
Torrents?)!

It's because while the Duke Nukem 3-D source code is under the GPL, the BUILD  
Engine is under a proprietary license. It's the same sort of situation as a  
game under the GPL that uses Unity3d.

But if the engine is proprietary, how can a game made with that engine be  
GPL?

I don't see any evidence that this has been done for Duke Nukem 3-D, but the  
way you would normally do it is add a special exception permitting linking to  
the proprietary library.
