I doubt it.

BUILD *is* the Duke & friends engine; rip it out and you're left 
with the script for a game you can't play.  It's GPL though.  You 
can read the code and imagine what it would look like!

If there is a libre rewrite of the entire engine, I haven't found 
it.

Sigh[0]:

  Q: Why did you write a custom license instead of using GPL 
  (GNU's
     General Public License)?

  A: Short answer: to satisfy my ego :)
     Long answer: I know GPL is an industry standard, but I felt
     that it was way too long and boring for anyone to read
     seriously. I chose to write a nice short license that 
     everybody
     could understand. This way, people unfamiliar with GPL would
     understand their rights.

Great job.
