Neither Defold, nor Unreal Engine, nor Unity, is Open Source.

As discussed elsewhere in this thread, source-available is not the same thing as Open Source.

FYI, you were presumably downvoted since the post you replied to had not claimed that Defold, Unreal, or Unity were Open Source. It claimed that Godot was open source, which is true.

But it says right there, "free and open"!
