What's the limit, legally speaking, when it comes to writing a clone or heavily inspired implementation of an existing piece of software? Assuming there is absolutely no access to the proprietary code, don't use it's formats, and no IP infringement, I should be good right?

I mean, if you don't violate copyright, patents, trademarks or whatever other "rights" have been assigned, what are they gonna do?

basically making an MIT licensed framework/game engine that ticks all the boxes of Unity3D with a focus on performance.

shit, i think i need to save that and never see it again.

Considering that many of Unity 3D's features are present in other game engines, you should be fine. Just don't go about copying their API or anything.
>>
>>61358902
Yeah you should be fine unless you'll try to make a drop-in replacement

Also, no offence but if you're planning to compete with Unity, you won't succeed unless you have a competent team and a business plan

I'm doing it mainly because I don't like their licensing model and I want to make something for people who feel the same. I realize documentation and the whole ecosystem of content/scripts is something that I can't match.

Johan Andersson created the prototype for frostbite on his own and used it to get the job at DICE.

I don't think you comperhend how complex this problem is (delivering a generic 3D engine)
Pretty much every mature game engine came from a studio, hell, even open source community failed to deliver one
