> 2. How You Can Use the Licensed Technology
> Epic grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to privately use, reproduce, display, perform, and modify the Licensed Technology in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “License”). This means that as long as you are not violating this Agreement or applicable law, you can privately use the Licensed Technology however you want. If you want to share the Licensed Technology or anything you make with it, Sections 3 and 4 below address when and how you can do that.
In section 3/4 it goes to that you can compile your game and give the output to outsiders if you pay the roylaties when applicable or share them royalty free on epics github (basically you make a pr to merge your stuff upstream) or on unreal marketplace (sell it)
- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoWell, you can always modify source code and use it privately - you hardly need a license for that. The additional sections that allow distribution are the important bits and I guess the devil is in the details.
- xeromal 3y agoThe point is that if you're a game company. You have a way to legally make modifications to the engine even if Epic goes belly up.

- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoIt's the "sell a binary" bit that introduces the need for a license.
