  > I would not use this editor as a result of that clause. Because it is too closed or for fear that works created using the editor would make your use commercial?

Edit: Okay, I'm not sure, this is what they say on their GitHub > Oni 2 is licensed under the CC-BY-NC-4.0 license. > This means that Oni 2 is free to use for non-commercial or educational uses.
