Hmm, I wonder how BeamNG can not provide source code, when Rigs of Rods is GPL and BeamNG was forked from it.

Nope. They simply started BeamNG as a commercial project, it was never a fork

And they use Torque which is licensed under MIT https://torque3d.org/ But that’s just the graphics not the physics enginge which haven’t been released. Rigs is using Ogre https://www.ogre3d.org/

But it’s not clear from this page if they provide source code for the commercial parts of BeamNG.tech to customers or not. I guess you’d have to contact them and ask. Contact details are at the above linked page.
