Does the GPL also cover libraries that you use, though? As I understand it, all of *your* code could be covered under the GPL, while Valve's is still covered under there license, and doesn't need to be supplied. It would probably be a royal bitch to decouple the code that much though, especially when we're talking about the source SDK.
