Unity 5 released with upgrades, full-featured free version

I'm sure I'm nitpicking here but this is a huge deal for me: forcing a branded splash screen onto the final product. Ugh! Why?! I understand a ton of work has been put into this engine and Unity is graciously offering it for free, but indie software is an individual's art. When an artist paints a portrait, you don't see a "Powered by Winsor & Newton Acrylic Products" stamped onto the bottom of the canvas.

I'm sure I'm coming off harsh here but seeing that limitation really turns me off from an otherwise unbelievable proposition.

Edit: spelling.

It's removed if you upgrade to the pro version. Seems like a fair deal to me as it means studios who can afford it will pay, while indie developers just getting started don't need to.

Artists pay for their supplies. And this seems to be a fair deal - if you're not paying them, you should at least give them some publicity.

I don't really mind it. Just takes a couple seconds then it is gone.
