Have they added back in GI now that Lionhead passed their GI tech over to them? I'd like to live in a current gen world where GI is the norm and not the exception.
They seem to have gotten past the licensing issues to managing this.

How would an indie dev benefit from having access to the source code? Doubt that they have the resources/knowledge to change the engine to fit their needs.
He did that before Nirolak merged another thread, where that posts originates from, into this one

oh makes sense 
Most might not, but there are some smart people who do understand source code. It's nice to have the option, if you run into a deadend, to be able to change it yourself instead of trying to get a company to do it for you. This is true in general, not just for specific ports.

Business is about to pick up!
Global Illumination has been on the engine since the beginning and was on UE3 since a few years ago.
Obviously you're talking about real time global illumination, but that's not as easy as you think
Anyway, no, it's still not in the engine. I assume if they ever out it on the sbubscription build, it will be after a lot of debugging and improving things.Neuromancer

Great news, I hope to see a lot of devs working on Project Morpheus support.
Indeed. Exciting news for all gamers.
They were somewhat supported in the initial release, they just did some more work to make it better to the point they felt comfortable saying it's officially supported.

Even if they don't have the ability to alter the source and they may not be allowed, even if they're capable being able to examine it may help them to track down bugs, determine why a function doesn't work as they expected, etc.

I believe Indies are charged 5%.

I see. That sounds like a fair price, I think.

Dynamic GI has been in Unreal Engine 4 unofficially since public release through config activation. It's in beta testing and that is why it is not an option you can access by default but it's there through a CVar switch if you want to play with it. For those who don't know Lionhead's real-time GI (LPV) is similar in implementation to the Cryengine solution so it's not the original SVOGI technic from the game engine reveal.
If you have access to the UE4 you can check it out how to activate it:
