Creating three lists here.... OK, Maybe OK,and Not OK. For the sake of completion, and unknowns,I'm including the single player aspects until we can get an idea of the scope of a pure multiplayer replacement -vs- an all-encompassing Q1 replacement
The 'OK' List
The 'Maybe OK' list
The 'Not OK' list
This 1st post will be adjusted and edited as progress occurs (or if progress occurs)..... I included the single player section of Skins for Enemies because,facing facts, having a flawless and faultless "multiplayer Q1 full/free download" is almost near impossible, due to 95% of the Q1 servers all utilize the episode 1 through 4 maps (Shmack being the most notable example). The only way to entirely isolate ourself from SP would be to not allow COOP type connections / not allow it to connect to servers that have the monsters in it.It would be a tight rope act vanquishing the SinglePlayer/Multiplayer ties that bind them together.....
ps : to the Quaker whos been nagging me about doing this, sorry it took an extra day. I had to really stop and give thought to the entire idea, as opposed to making a post that says "How can I make Quake 100% free for download" ,as that shits been done too many times and it always goes no where, and I am keen to avoid the same shit different day syndrome
I am positive I am forgetting stuff.... but before I hit post and submit etc, after thinking about the single-player aspect with all new assets, doesn't seem like it would work(this is what GB mentioned in the other post,we can't just tweak stuff here&there (end up with entirely different assets BUT the exact same game,can we?) . Also, the name couldn't be Quake,although it probably could be Kwake/Qw8k/or some type of variant that is pronounced the same way would seem doable. iD Software doesnt own the right to special font-characters like ,example what about Ɋɥȧķę ?
The 'OK' List
-MAP DESIGNS (Thank you Romero <3)
-Current Engines
-WEAPONS (Last time I checked, Id Software doesnt own the right to "shotguns and rocketlaunchers",although original REMAKES are out according to GoldenBoy,replacements that have zero-likeness of originals would be okay)

-Sounds according to someone (I forget who now), when I was hearing fn Quake noises in TV shows and made a post about it,someone told me that those sounds will pop up ANYWHERE ,due to they are apart of a huge-ass-expensive-as-fuck sound library , so two routes are optionable. Original sounds / need to buy that hella expensive damn sound-library!
The other option would be abandon all the original sounds and replace with GPL/readily availible to use sounds,which isn't great idea but it sure as shit will be cheaper!

-Textures (Originals and their remakes are not acceptable)
-Skins for enemies(There is a shady-grey area that would be example,FRAGGERS/others custom skins. some of these looks NOTHING like the originals and would to me,be 100% okay?)
-Models (Originals and their remakes are not acceptable...)
-Nine Inch Nails logo on every Nail Ammo Box! Could easily be reversed like this ЙІN,MINUS THAT SQUIGGLE ABOVE Й.
