"ArsTechnica reports that Unreal Engine 4 is being re-released under a subscription basis which provides full access to the source code, and a flat 5 percent gross royalty for use. Comments from EPIC show that Unreal Engine 4 is being ported to Linux and SteamOS as well as a variety of other platforms, and that you can cancel the subscription at any time. For educational usage, as well as free (as in beer) games, no costs beyond the subscription fee are incurred."

Ed Note: Updated title to be less misleading.

    Mostly I had a brain fart when writing it up and submitting it, and I forgot the actual definition of open source as set by the OSS.

    Sorry for losing my cool and for the lowly ad hominem... glad you handled this much better.
