As I understand GPL3, as long as you provide all the source code to build
the application then you are fine.  In which case we could not _legally_ be
in compliance with that licensing.  Which is why I was asking.  I think we
can be open source, but I think the version of license that we are using is
incorrect.

I'll look into the LGPL ... thanks for that info.

People do it anyway, but Valve's lawyers will frown on you distributing the
SDK code.

As far as GPL goes, I'm pretty sure that GPL is incompatible with Valve's
license, and it's therefore not possible to make a GPL server plugin. You
can make an LGPL plugin though, no problem, as LGPL permits dynamic linking.
