Distributing source code with user-created plugins?

I thought more about some legal issues about “fully open source” requirement for plugins, and found that it won’t be possible in some cases.

I think that it will be better to make it something like this:

1. integration (UE4 part) must be source provided, as you already suggested.

2. Two clearly visible labels for plugins on Marketplace: “full source” and “closed source”, which will define is can be fully modified or contains some 3rd party libraries in binary form.

Maybe label “3rd-party required” will be nice too. F.e. to build one part of my VaQuoleUI , you should have Qt.

Another vote for what Ufna said.

Another option is to provide for separate source code license pricing, where one price gives you just the binary (or UE4 related source code plus binary libraries) and another gives you full source code.
