Source Code
In early 1999, the source code of Heretic was published by Raven Software under a license that granted rights to non-commercial use, and was re-released under the GNU General Public License on September 4, 2008. This resulted in ports to Linux and other operating systems, and updates to the Heretic engine to utilize 3D acceleration. The shareware version of a console port for Dreamcast was also released.
The Blasphemer project aims to create a free content package for the Heretic engine, with a theme of metal-inspired dark fantasy - in a similar way as Freedoom does with the Doom engine.

—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“... the self respect of individuals ought to make them demand of their leaders conformity with an agreed-upon code of ethics and moral conduct.”
