In these two examples (most likely dosbox too), It seems there are literally zero functions of Steam in use except the application running inside Linux SteamOS, the auto-updating, possibly usage-stats generation, for which the software possibly wasn't modified. In order to test what GPL-licensed games are available on Steam Store and how it is implemented, I've installed Steam and installed Blender and Battle for Wesnoth. Worthy to note that Valve asked Blender Foundation to come onto Steam. They are also automatically updated, can only be used with Steam being started and Steam submits usage statistics to the developers (which seem like weaker reasons to use that platform in comparison to the popularity).

Summary: supertuxkart is not available on Steam yet, the GPL licenses are incompatible with most Steamworks API features, can partially workaround it with a separate non-free standalone process, the team needs to register a legal entity and figure out how to apply the donation policy to Steam. So we need proper legal advice (with all its assorted costs) before we can proceed with the Steam release :'( Obviously no one of us wants to risk their private assets because of that (admittedly an unlikely and extreme case). What if SuperTuxKart should have a bug, wiping out a user's data, and we then get sued? We have done some initial work to get SuperTuxKart working in a Steam environment, so it can pick up your username, and even your avatar.īut the main issue we have is actually a legal one: in order to publish a game on Steam we need to have a company.Īnd while it is reasonable easy to create a small company in Australia, the main problem is the liability:
