Here's a little piece of the Unity weirdness I haven't seen anyone mention yet:

Every time we developers pop a game up on a storefront (Xbox, Steam etc) we warrant that we have the unconditional right to do so.

My Skill Trees project is starting to grow! I'm building up a collection of printable open source templates that can guide and track progression in hands-on skills. Colour in the boxes as you complete each skill and get inspired to try new things. I'm seeking experts in a variety of areas to continue to grow the repository and help with translation into different languages.
