@slembcke Not sure I quite get the sceheme here - it looks like they are saying they want 0.5-1% of revenue from reasonable size companies if they use unity to any extent, and that that payment will be deducted from any licence fees they havce to pay...
It does seem kinda nuts if that's the idea; A decent size company is never going to start using unity if they are imediately going to lose up to a percent of profits for that year. "Boss, can I use unity?" - "NO"

@slembcke In fact, I find the table and the statement immediately preceding it to be somewhat contradictory - one talks about "gross revenue" while the other talks about "made with unity gross revenue"... If the numbers are for profits from products made with unity, it doesn't seem so bad... At that level you're very likely to be using that much licencing... If it just means "if your co is over this size", then it's bonkers.

@toerror It's entirely unclear to me from this leaked snippet if they mean your revenue or revenue derived from Unity. Whatever "Made with Unity gross revenue for previous year" means I guess...
