Deep dives

Engine X Forked to Free Engine X

The original developer of Engine X, Maxim Dunin, announced the forking of Engine X to create a new project named FreeEngineX.org in response to the interference of F5, which acquired Engine X and deviated from the established security policy. This move aimed to maintain the free and open-source nature of Engine X development and avoid corporate influence, emphasizing the importance of community-driven projects.
