Licensing Change...

#1 It is completely free..
You can take the engine, call it "Aaron's piece of awesomeness" and sell it for 10000$ on your own site if you'd like.
No restrictions at all! Welcome back!

#2 LOL May be the best response I've ever gotten :D Thanks Lukas! I'm excited to be back :)

#3 The MIT license is "deceptively simple" - it's so straight forward that people are left wondering exactly what it means. We all start thinking "no way, there has to be a catch," but there isn't. I'm surprised that I see this question so often, and then I remember that we as a group tend to try to read too deeply into legal stuff. But it really is that simple - free, just keep the relevant copyright notices in place and you can do whatever else you want with it.

#4 Please note that the MIT license only applies to Torque 2D and Torque 3D that was released under that open source license or forks that were sourced from official repositories on github under GarageGames. Simply look for the MIT license and copyright notice as the file heading of source files to know for sure.

Earlier engines such as TGE and TGEA have not been released under such a license. Same goes for earlier sold releases of Torque 3D (v1.0 - v1.2) or TGB or iTorque 2D. These engines and/or releases are still covered under their respective EULAs.

#5 Good point Nathan.

#6 @Nathan: But isn't this a newer version of the engine anyway? Is there a reason I'd choose old over new?

#7 @Aaron no the newer versions are better, but some prefer the old for this or that reason.
Oh I guess TGE supports more platforms atm, but with Luis working full-time on porting the engine to Mac and Linux, that is only a temporary issue.

#8 Thanks for the feed back, Lukas! Can we still get the add ons to export games out for iPhone etc? or is that already in engine?

#9 Torque2D works on Windows Mac iOS (Android, SteamOS and Linux is working but not sure how stable it is). There have even been a HTML5 port of Torque2D: http://www.cuppadev.co.uk/2013/12/torque2d-in-a-web-browser/.

Torque3D is a little more limited, it's only on desktop platforms atm.
