Hi Stefen, I wouldn't feel right claming ownership over any games using my engine, but I would expect some sort of royalty fee for using it in their games. After all I did the hard work in making the engine, maintaining it, and probably answering there tech support questions so asking for a percentage of their sales using the engine is only fair. As for selling via my web site there would have to be some transaction fees associated with the sales through my web site. I have to pay $1.90 for every credit card transaction that Pay Pal processes for me so Pay Pal would take that immediately out of any sales made on my web site regardless of who made the game. As for one month free for every game you make that could potentially be allot of lost income for me. If the developer is selling allot of games at that time I wouldn't be getting my cut which I wouldn't like since I did the majority of the work for the engine.
