https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2013-January/024354.... In that thread on arch-dev-public, the license from valve for the steam client is discussed. Sofar noone mentioned section C4, export controls. 4. Export Controls. The Program may not be re-exported, downloaded or otherwise exported into (or to a national or resident of) any country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods, or to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Departments list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Departments Table of Denial Orders. By installing the Program, you are agreeing to the foregoing and you are representing and warranting that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list. IANAL, but I very much doubt that if steam is put in the repos we can be sure arch doesn't violate this clause. LW
