Because valve hates open source with a vengeance, and also some one posted the entire valve source sdk onto sourceforge?? Sourceforge, the open source code sharing place? If that doesn't get a call from the lawyers I don't know what will....
https://rcbot2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rcbot2/ https://rcbot2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rcbot2/game/client/animatedtextureproxy.cpp I would like the idea of an open source tf2 bot, but the likely hood of valve tolerating it is like zero. Right now, If I was Valve, I would ignore this thread and just send the lawyers in with a DMCA takedown. Big corporations tend to do that.
