Do you know what open source means?
They're not relying on Valve's goodwill. The license explicitly permits this.
“Third party software included and respected byproducts of Valve’s proprietary”
Legit doesn’t mean you own all the code.
Afaik proton is BSD-3, and everything else important is part of wine which is LGPL. Sure, valve can be hostile if they choose, but they haven't given themselves the legal tools to do much.
Edit: DXVK is apparently under the zlib license.
That’s Wine/Proton not the other thing that connects to Valves severs and other components.
Eh...I think you don't know what we're all talking about.
Oh, didn't notice you were the valve troll.
Carry on with your bullshit.
You’re the troll if you can’t explain why no one owns all the code. You can’t even accept the lawsuits that the people of America brought against to Valve Corporation.
Dont talk like you have anything worthwhile going when you refuse to acknowledge their crimes.
When you just make up imaginary phantom shit, no one is going to bother refuting it.
You cannot download all the code, try it bitch i know you can’t because i also cant. Next time confirm your conspiracy theory first.
