Why do you need to redistribute them if your goal is merely to solve your own problem? (That's the specific context of the quote in the parent comment.)

  >Why do you need to redistribute them if your goal is merely to solve your own problem? Because "you" in this case is typically a game studio. "Solving your own problem" means shipping your game.

    Huh. I have no idea what point you're trying to make. Virtually everyone modifies Unreal C++ code. Some indie projects are blueprint only. But modifying the engine C++ source code is practically an expectation. Can those source code modifications be easily shared with other developers? Well they can't be publicly dumped on GitHub. Can they be shipped to consume in a compiled binary? Absolutely.

    Do you think it would make any sense for epic to forbid studios from shipping games that contain a modified engine?
