From their FAQ

Q: Is the game “Open Source” now?

A: Open Source refers to the Open Source Initiative’s definition, which the current non-commercial license doesn’t meet. Ideally, once we finish another game and are hopefully able to re-acquire certain rights, we’d like to re-license the U3 SDK under the MIT License.

Neat! Would be glad to see that pan out.

Yeah, they need another revenue stream first before they can retire that IP I guess which does make sense and I wish more games adapt this strategy for their EOL
