UE4 is free to use , it's just that if you do commercial work and make
revenue then you need to pay 5% royalty. Still if needed i can write a
formal mail to EpicGames and will get the response from them to remove any
confusion (It's better to get formal confirmation since licensing stuff is
always scary regardless of any situation)
Best Regards,

Are you sure you can release an UE4-based game as Free Software?<br>
<br>
How is that supposed to work when UE4 is not Free Software itself?<br>
<br>
