There are other company's intellectual property in that source directory, and as such that archive with that source being distributed is infringing on many people's copyrights. Valve could not GPL or make legal that source release. If they were to GPL anything it would have to be officially released by them and not by some felon.
There is ZERO flexability here. Copyright laws are there to protect against these kinds of theft and piracy. Please stop suggesting that fans of the game download the source and violate Valve's copyrights, doing so only makes the problem worse.

So you want to spend your time in court explaining >your use of stolen intellectual property?
A day trip is a day trip = ) I dunno if this will happen, the code is too hot (as you have said) so enless valve said, oh yes... who cares anymore, lets release the server code under the GPL then I doubt many dev's will develop it. If one was developed it would have to move around via kazaa and other warez sites and nobody would trust it so it would not survive long :( --
