Md2 copyrighted?

Hi there! Just curious, since ID has released the source code for quake1,2 , are they considered freeware? I mean, could I make an indie game (or retail) using their md2 file format (writing my own loader/displayer of course) ? Since I read somewhere that a formula for converting RGB to greyscale is copyrighted and needs a license, why wouldn't this be something similar? :( also, Is opengl freeware/royaltyfree even?

Blender does have a couple of plugins for the MD2 format. So does Milkshape 3d.

I learned somewhat Milkshape 3d. Blender I'm still trying to learn. I don't have any other higher cost programs. Agreed though. Preference does it.
