Closed-Beta License
You are allowed to download and try the starLiGHT.Engine for free. You are not allowed to release something created using the starLiGHT.Engine (e.g. a game or a tool) to the public. The term "release" in this sense is everything that is not a private, closed beta test by the developers. You need to get a commercial license if you plan to release your game or tool to the wild or start a public beta test. You need a commercial license for every commercial and non-commercial piece of software you create with the starLiGHT.Engine.
Every other usage of the starLiGHT.Engine requires a written permission.
