[arch-dev-public] Steam License

[Daniel Wallace]

I recently received a license from steam to redistribute the bootstrap,
and modify it where required.  I want to share it and ask everyones
opinion on if I could go ahead and move it back into the repos, or if I
should wait until the amd64 version is released.[1]


YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THE ENTIRE FOLLOWING LICENSE AGREEMENT BEFORE INSTALLING THIS SOFTWARE
PROGRAM.   THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS IMPORTANT TERMS THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.  BY INSTALLING
THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE
TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE PROGRAM.


The software application(s) (the “Program”) is the copyrighted work of Valve Corporation
(“Valve”) or its suppliers.  All rights reserved, except as expressly stated herein.  The
Program is provided solely for installation by end users according to the terms of this License
Agreement, except as provided below regarding permitted redistributions. All use of the Program
is governed by the terms of the Steam subscriber agreement located at
www.steampowered.com/agreement (the “Steam Agreement”), as such terms may be updated from time
to time, which terms are incorporated into this License Agreement by this reference. Any use,
reproduction or redistribution of the Program not in accordance with the terms of the License
Agreement and the Steam Agreement is expressly prohibited.  LICENSE AGREEMENT


1.        Grant of Licenses.


A. Personal Use Limited Installation License. Valve hereby grants, and by installing the Program
you thereby accept, a limited, non-exclusive license and right to install one (1) copy of the
Program on each of your computers solely for your personal use. 

B. Limited Redistribution License.  Valve hereby grants, and you accept, a limited, terminable,
non-exclusive license to reproduce and distribute an unlimited number of copies of the Program;
provided that the following conditions are met: 

    1. you must distribute the Program in its entirety; 

    2. you may not modify the Program, except that, in the case of the Linux version of the
    Program, you may modify scripts and other documentary and graphical files, but not any files
    containing the term “bootstrap” in the file name, provided that you do not modify any icons,
    change any copyright or other notices, or alter this or any other license agreement that is
    included with the Program, and provided further that any modifications you make are
    identified by you as modifications from the original Program provided by Valve; 

    3. you may repackage the Program and distribute it with another software program, provided
    that you do not integrate the Program in any way with that other software program, or
    combine the Program with that other software program in a manner that would require you to
    distribute the Program under any open source or other license terms different from these
    terms.  4. you may not charge any separate fee or receive any compensation attributable to
    the Program; 

    5. you must include this License Agreement provided with the Program and ensure that it will
    display and be required to be accepted by the end user in the same manner as is required by
    the Program in the form received by you; and 

    6. you must preserve in all copies of the Program all copyright and legal notices that are
    attached to the copy of the Program received by you.  
    
C.  Restrictions/Reservation of Rights.  Except as expressly set forth elsewhere in this License
Agreement, you may not, in whole or in part: copy, photocopy, reproduce, translate, reverse
engineer (with the exception of specific circumstances where such act is permitted by law),
derive source code from, modify, disassemble, decompile, or create derivative works based on the
Program; remove any proprietary notices or labels on the Program; or attempt in any manner to
circumvent any security measures designed to control access to the Program. You may not package
the Program with, or pre-install the Program on, any hardware, without obtaining a separate
license from us.  The Program is licensed to you as a single product. Its component parts may
not be separated for use on more than one computer.  You may not sell, grant a security interest
in, rent, lease or license the Program to others without the prior written consent of Valve. The
Program is licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Program or
copies thereof.

    2.          Ownership. All title, ownership rights and intellectual property rights in and
    to the Program and any and all copies thereof (including but not limited to any titles,
    computer code, themes, objects, characters, character names, stories, dialog, catch phrases,
    locations, concepts, artwork, animations, sounds, musical compositions, audio-visual
    effects, methods of operation, moral rights, any related documentation, and “applets”
    incorporated into the Program) are owned by Valve or its licensors.  The Program is
    protected by the copyright laws of the United States, international copyright treaties and
    conventions and other laws. All rights are reserved. The Program contains certain licensed
    materials and Valve’s licensors may protect their rights in the event of any violation of
    this Agreement.  

    3.         Termination. This License Agreement is effective until terminated. You may
    terminate the License Agreement at any time by destroying the Program.  We may terminate
    your rights set forth in Section 1.B. of this License Agreement at any time upon notice to
    you.  This License Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event that you fail to
    comply with the terms and conditions contained herein.  In such event, you must immediately
    destroy the Program.  The provisions of Sections 2, 3, and 5-7 will survive any termination
    of the Agreement.  

    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 Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals
    or the U.S.  Commerce Department’s 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.  

    5.         WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; NO GUARANTEES.  DISCLAIMERS OF
    WARRANTY AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THE STEAM AGREEMENT, AND/OR ELSEWHERE IN
    THE STEAM AGREEMENT, APPLY TO YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM.  AS NOTED IN THE STEAM AGREEMENT, FOR
    EU CUSTOMERS, SUCH PROVISIONS DO NOT REDUCE YOUR MANDATORY CONSUMERS’ RIGHTS UNDER THE LAWS
    OF YOUR LOCAL JURISDICTION.  

    6.        Warranties/Indemnities Relating to Redistribution.  If you choose to redistribute
    the Program, you represent and warrant that any modifications you make to the Program, if
    any, and your particular combination of the Program with any other software or hardware, do
    not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights.  You agree to defend,
    indemnify and hold harmless Valve, its licensors, and its and their affiliates from all
    liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that arise from or in
    connection with your redistribution of the Program or your breach of this License Agreement.
    Valve reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of
    any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. In that event, you shall have no
    further obligation to provide indemnification to Valve in that matter. 

    7.        Miscellaneous. Provisions relating to applicable law and jurisdiction, and dispute
    resolution, set forth in the Steam Agreement shall apply to any disputes arising under this
    Agreement.  This License Agreement and the Steam Agreement terms incorporated herein may be
    amended, altered or modified at any time by Valve in Valve’s sole discretion. In the event
    that any provision of this License Agreement shall be held by a court or other tribunal of
    competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum
    extent permissible and the remaining portions of this License Agreement shall remain in full
    force and effect. This License Agreement and the Steam Agreement constitute and contain the
    entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede
    any prior oral or written agreements.  

You hereby acknowledge that you have read and understand the foregoing License Agreement and
agree that the action of installing the Program is an acknowledgment of your agreement to be
bound by the terms and conditions of the License Agreement contained herein, including the Steam
Agreement.

Thanks
