You are only required to give source code for changes to that part for LGPL code. So only the library requires that.
Other game engines supply source code. If Unity wants any hope of redemption they should let us inspect wtf it actually does on our computers (edit: and let us make it work for our needs).
You CAN access the source code, but it's for corporate/enterprise partners. afaik
Charging for access is actually fine under L/GPL but after that you're then free to redistribute at your own price. I imagine Unity heavily control how you use and distribute your modified engine (nonfree).
