Using COMMUNITY maps from existing Epic titles, in commercial-product

Hi,

Can COMMUNITY MAPS from games such as Unreal Tournament be used in a COMMERCIAL product?

For example, if a community-made map from the UT99 days was converted directly (not remade, direct conversion) to UE5, but didn’t use any original textures, sounds, scripts etc. Only the basic meshes.

Is this allowed by Epic Games?

I wonder if there is any limitations since the maps would have originally been made using Unreal Engine 1/2 and are considered derivatives.

I need a proper answer, not guesses, as this affects active development of a project being planned for commercial release.

I contacted Epic Games and was told this was the place to ask.

Bump.

I literally contacted support, and they told me to post here, can I please have a response from someone at Epic?

Respectfully.

Bumping again.

REALLY confused why Epic Games support staff told me to post here, yet I get no response. Like, I’m literally documenting this in-case EG ever tries to sue me at this point; can’t say I didn’t try lol.
