I think what GR was alluding to, and what I mentioned above, is the issue of the Fox engine still belonging to Konami. They seem to have no intentions at all of actually developing games with it at this point, but I wouldn't be surprised if they kept it to themselves just to spite Kojima. That's a much bigger hurdle.
I wonder if some Konami executive will look at engines like Unreal and think "gee, I bet we could sell our engine to other game companies for a tidy profit!", then promptly fail to attract any attention because of the near certainty other publishers would have that Konami would be completely unwilling to either support or upgrade the engine for the long term.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
