It means that id Tech 4 games aren't necessarily libre, because you have to consider the licenses of the scripts as well as id Tech 4 itself.

The Dark Mod's LICENSE.txt file states, "All software components of The Dark Mod, either original or based on the Doom 3 GPL Source Code as released in November 2011, are licensed and can be distributed under the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version." That makes The Dark Mod sound OK, though I don't much like the vagueness of this statement ("software components" isn't clearly defined). It would probably be worth it to check up on any scripts to see if they have any sort of license notices, and possibly to contact the developers of The Dark Mod and ask for a clarification.
