Is Software the UFOlogy of Engineering Disciplines? 9 months ago
Many governments do not recognize software development as an engineering discipline, and do not treat it (i.e. licensing, regulation) as such.

"What happens if I am distributing the runtime for commercial purposes?
According to our terms of service, the distribution of the Unity runtime for commercial purposes by Industry Customers requires explicit authorization from Unity and is subject to a fee ("Distribution License') which is generally equivalent to 4.0% of the revenue generated by the software product that incorporates the Unity runtime (discounts may apply). Please contact sales to discuss further."

That'd be great if they could.

Really enjoyed working with their gear and, when the occasional question came up, their engineers (top notch folks).
