Valves EULA applies if it doesnt go over a law in the country where the
software is used. However, there is no law in any country, as far as i
know, that allows other company software to be used for commercial
purposes by other companies if the company policies which provide the
software, strictly deny it.
There is a law in Australia which forbids in-game adds so 1.6 does not
have any advertisements in there. Battlefiend 2142 is also sold withoit
adds because they are illegal there in games.
I havent read the EULA myself but what does it say about server renting
(srcds is free) by a company who gets the software for free and then
rents it on their servers for their customers. I assume this is allowed ?

Read the Valve EULA. You are not allowed to use any part of their
software, for any kind of commercial gain.
I'm no lawyer, but the way I read it, it technically even renders GSP's
hosting their games 'illegal' though, as they are making money by
hosting the Valve server-software.
Anyway, mani doesn't make any money by the ads in there, so I'd say
that's not against the EULA.

Hmmm, I don't remember that. What about cases like Mani's Admin Plugin's
advertising?
