Can prospective developers use engines like Id Tech 3 or Unreal 2 commercially without paying?

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Id Tech 3 is GPLv2, so for that one, yes. I'm not aware of similar being true for Unreal Engine 2, so I'd assume, no.

But if you're just generally looking for an engine that won't bite you, Godot is a better choice.
