Currently, there aren't any Quake 3 map compilers that do not require expensive licensing. There's a project that's working on one, but it's not fully functional yet.

At http://www.flipcode.com/tutorials/tut_q2levels.shtml under the topic "Legality " there is an comment, allegedly from id, which says:

"We do not legally protect the file formats, but you can't use any of the released tools, or tools derived from them (except the GPL'd Quake 1 tools) to generate content for a commercial venture. If you are writing everything yourself, no problem."

So I think it's ok, as long as you use only GPL'd Products or Priducts you wrote by yourself.
