I am thinking of using Unity's free version. Does anyone know if it comes with full source code?
Also, what are the licenses like (how flexible compare to Torque engine.)

The company has shared the code under a reference-only license so game devs can peek under the hood and better understand the engine's capabilities.
Unity is free of cost and is open to all. It is easy to use so it is used by most game developers for making games and applications. It is written in C++ and C#.
Unity Personal vs Unity Pro One of the most notable differences between the free Personal version and paid Unity subscriptions is the ability to customise, or completely remove the 'made with Unity' splash screen.
Unity offers a completely free version ready for download if your revenue or funding is below $100,000 in the past year. This can be a great option if you are just wanting to get started. It has all the features that Unity Pro has and is capable of making excellent games, without having to spend a dime.
Unity does not comes with full source. You can request a source license, but the price is negotiated I believe. See bottom of page - https://store.unity3d.com/shop/
I have used both Unity and Torque and find Unity to be much more accessible. While Torque comes with full source, the design, resources, and overall support is lacking with GarageGames. My advice is to choose Unity3D.
