Sorry for the confusion and late reply. I didn't catch this part of the comment. I cant edit it now. I should not have use the term "Open Source" which I agree meant something different. May be source available would be better. But the point of my argument still stand.

Please accept my sincere apology. And no offence intended.

Let hope we continue to focus and amaze at the technical marvel that is UE5.

UE5 is not open source, it is shared source or "source available". Assuming it follows the model of UE4.

Oops, just realized you said open source. Sorry!

You describe source available, not open source.

lsferreira42 | karma 1091 | avg karma 6.2 · | 2020-03-13 18:55:11+00:00

It is open source?

saurya | karma 5 | avg karma 0.83 · | 2013-01-02 18:46:15+00:00

Ah, I see, I had no idea it was open source! Thank you for the information.

crazysim | karma 916 | avg karma 3.11 · | 2016-05-14 07:55:48+00:00

Wasn't this open sourced?

speedgoose | karma 8135 | avg karma 2.13 · | 2024-03-21 08:48:05

No really. Many proprietary software are source available but far from being open source.

Even Microsoft Windows is source available if you are an important customer: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sharedsource/default.aspx

A bit more public and open to anyone is Unreal Engine's source code: https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/...

Ah, my bad. Source-available, not Open-Source

linuxhansl | karma 2581 | avg karma 3.9 · | 2020-01-26 19:49:51+00:00

Can it be open sourced?

eviks | karma 2408 | avg karma 1.03 · | 2024-04-25 10:17:13

That would be what's usually called "source available + documented" rather than open source

ETHisso2017 | karma 781 | avg karma 2.98 · | 2019-08-09 16:19:56+00:00

Isn't it open-source, though?

URfejk | karma 4216 | avg karma 5.6 · | 2021-02-14 19:13:47+00:00

It is open source.
