One of the big winners of the Unity debacle is the free and open source Godot Engine, which has seen its funding soar to a much more impressive level as Unity basically gave them free advertising.

    You are not allowed to distribute unreal source. From their FAQ:

    Unreal Engine licensees are permitted to post engine code snippets (up to 30 lines) in a public forum, but only for the purpose of discussing the content of the snippet

      But the code is easily visible and you can compile it yourself. If you say “I only run software I 100% knows what it does because I can read it’s source code” then Unreal Engine fits, it’s open source.

        That’s not why people want an open source game engine though, they want it to be open source so that they can’t do a unity

        I agree the phrase “open source” is a bit confusing
