Also, from the license FAQ: "No, Unity does not charge on a per title basis and you do not pay royalties or pay revenue share! Even for games and applications made with the free version!". I'm pretty sure @GregoryWeir is right that there are no royalties involved. That said, you are right about the license - you need one for each developer on the team. | |
| Sep 28, 2012 at 14:18 | comment | added | Ken | @GregoryWeir absolutely not, you are also supposed to pay 1 Unity license for each person and other people are not allowed to develop with your Unity license unity3d.com/unity/faq , this mean 3 people = 3 licenses for what you are targeting that you need to buy, for example 3 people working on Android = 3 Android license to buy. Royalty are complex and probably you want to discuss this with your producer and Unity before going public. | |

I do think you've read the license incorrectly; Unity is royalty-free, even with the free version. The license at unity3d.com/unity/unity-end-user-license-3.x also places very few restrictions on the nature of the end project (none that I can see except that it not be a competing app to Unity). | |
| Sep 28, 2012 at 14:07 | comment | added | Ken | @GregoryWeir just read the license that comes with Unity, also i'm a programmer and for me Unity is horrible, the support for Android is probably worst than Unity itself, just to say that i have a regular license for Unity for Android but i prefer to code my own stuff since Android really needs optimized code wich is the opposite of what Unity is. Don't forget that Unity can easily become extremely pricey, just like the UDK it adopts a royalty system and has a lot of restrictions. | |
