Re: [arch-dev-public] steam in our repos?

I read through the entire license. It seemed ok to me but as I am not a lawyer I emailed them to request permission first to redistribute the package in community/multilib.

I am not a lawyer either but I understand sentences such as: "You may not, in whole or in part: copy, photocopy, reproduce, [...] the Program; [...] You may not [...] transfer reproductions of the Program to other parties in any way [...] without the prior written consent of Valve." Note that there is a huge difference between written and express consent (the latter is what I believe you have obtained by email). So as best as I understand we do not have legal right to distribute this program. -- Gaetan
