GtkRadiant is a level design program developed by id Software and Loki Software. It is used to create maps for a number of computer games.
GtkRadiant originated as Q3Radiant, the Quake III Arena level design tool, which was a Windows-only application. Two major things are different in GtkRadiant: it is based on the GTK+ toolkit, so it also works in Linux and Mac OS X, and it's also game engine-independent, with functionality for new games added as game packs.
GtkRadiant is a "semi-Open Source" application. Source code is publicly available from id Software's Subversion repository and new additions to the code are covered under open source licenses. The core of the original Q3Radiant code, however, is proprietary, under id Software's license. Currently GtkRadiant EULA prohibits its use for commercial projects without id Software's permission. This may change later due to the fact that Q3Radiant was included when Quake III Arena itself was GPLed.
