hello, i’d like to ask, in the future is unreal’s editor’s license is going to be the same or we will have to pay to use unreal editor?Does anyone know :/?

We can never be sure, but such a big change in the licensing model seems very unlikely. Maybe in 5-10 years with an UE5 release, if the market has changed in a way that it makes sense.

You can clone and build the Unreal Editor (and Unreal Engine) from GitHub today.
Once you have the source code on your machine, under the current license, nobody can prevent you from using that.
The license and terms for future versions may change in the future, of course. But the current version, you can control your own destiny.
