In light of the recent Unity news, I’ve been evaluating the components of my project that are in questionable porting status.
Cinemachine is open source, but I can’t find the actual license anywhere.
I see numerous forks of Cinemachine.
Besides the obvious technical changes that are required to adapt Cinemachine to another engine, would the license stop me from using Cinemachine in a project outside of Unity?

I am not a lawyer, but my gut feeling is that you can’t use Cinemachine outside of a Unity context.
We are all (including Unity employees) eagerly waiting for more updates from Unity management. I wouldn’t take action just yet.

Thanks for your response. I understand things are up in the air right now. I’m just evaluating my options, which will take a while to estimate involved work. It’s possible the other options are really not in my favor anyway.

[Cinemachine](https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.cinemachine/blob/main/com.unity.cinemachine/LICENSE.md) is under the [Unity Companion licence.](https://unity.com/legal/licenses/unity-companion-license) The part 1 is probably what you are looking for.
