legal - Can free Unity Store assets be used in non-Unity games?


Does Unity Store allow to use assets listed as free in games built without the use of Unity engine? It's a pretty big place for free assets and I wonder if this isn't against the Unity Store's usage agreement.



Answer



I got an email response from a customer service engineer at Unity's Zendesk:



You can purchase assets from the Asset Store, or download our free assets, and use them personally and commercially in your game.


You may use the majority of assets from the Unity Store in other engines without limitation. Please take some time to look at our terms documentation for further details on limitations of usage. This is found here: https://unity3d.com/legal/as_terms



Once you have purchased an asset from the store, it becomes yours to do with as you like within your games and apps. You will be able to use them in your game for commercial use with no extra payments.


You can also use free assets in your game for commercial use. Using Unity assets is fine, though please be aware that many developers use Unity to create their games and most are aware of the assets we provide. For an original game they might not be the best fit.


You cannot resell the asset, or include it in an asset type product.



This answers my question about free assets specifically.
