• Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers

  03DE: Open source game engine, under Apache License 2.0, developed by Amazon and the linux foundation. Seems to work under a modular package called "gems", that you can use to pull in the functionality you need. It uses c++ as it's main language, but you can use Lua, python or visual scripting for scripting stuff. Has multiplayer built into the engine and what they call a "robust" system for open-world games.... Source: 8 months ago

  It means they don't use any of the free software licenses.

Notable free engines are Godot and O3DE, both available under MIT License. Source: over 2 years ago
