If someone else comes along, Unreal Engine checks all of those

No, I don't believe it does. In particular, Section 4: "How You Can Share the Licensed Technology When It Isn’t Part of a Product" imposes restrictions that contradict the very first clause in the Open-Source definition: "Free Redistribution".

At a quick glance, I expect the royalty requirements fail the first clause as well, but there's no point in combing through them for this conversation, given the above.

You obviously want to believe otherwise, though, and I don't want to argue with you. Feel free to test it in court. Good luck.
