David,

I think most of us understands the technical point of it. The problem with
your notes is that it suggests to steal a game engine, and that is rather a
legal issue than technical one.

As far as I can see there is no free version of that engine, not even for
learning that. I would suggest to choose something from the dozens of
others that has this option, so you will have no legal issues by only
learning a gaming engine. Once you want to commercialize your game, you can
still read the license agreement and buy the right package for yourself.
