TSE license

Info about the commercial TSE license says this:

Licensing
TSE Commercial License allows teams to use the Torque for any commercial purpose. Pricing for the TSE Commercial License is $995 per individual programmer "seat", no royalties. A single license can be used on an unlimited number of titles or projects in a manner similar to standard box software such as 3D editors or compilers.

But I can't find what the indie TSE license says...
How do you qualify for indie license? Does indie license include giving royalty to GarageGames? Does it include only a limited number of titles?

thanks

The EULA (End User License Agreement) for the TSE indie license is here: www.garagegames.com/pg/product/eula.php?id=28.

The last I checked, TSE Indie is still royalty free for an unlimited number of game products. It does not entitle you to make professional simulations, educational products, serious games or any other non-game software. You must include the Garage Games logo in your startup screen. You/your company cannot earn more than $250,000 (US) per year, nor any company that has aquired your company.

I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but that's the gist of it. Hopefully, someone will correct my mistakes.

Basically, you have to be making a game, include the GG logo, and make less than $250,000 a year to qualify. See the link that Matt posted for specifics.

OK, that clear things up a bit. I guess the way to go for us is to buy indie licenses, and if we grow beyond $250K a year, we upgrade to Commercial.

Oh, and the indie license is tied to the programmer themselves and not to a "seat". So if they leave your company, they take the indie license with them.
