[The BMFG]

All material for Freedoom is under a modified BSD license. Other projects may reuse any of the Freedoom resources for their own purposes, and is in fact a secondary goal for the project.

Basically, this means you can use the resources however you want, as long as you put the text of the aforementioned LICENSE file in the WAD or the documentation for it (which typically would be a .txt file.) Ideally, you'd say something like this:
