Indeed, I am aware of Valve's Policy of Truth, but I'm not too concerned with it since it mostly (if not solely?) applies to Quickplay. Non-QP servers are a different story in that regard, correct? As long as it does not interfere with that feature and the players being sent to servers by it, I think it should be fine, or at least, that was always my understanding of policy.
