Actually, you're more or less striking a deal with Valve. As a GSP, you host a server, thereby making their game actually worth something, and in return, you can keep all the profits you make.
As for applications like HLStatsX: they do not use anything created by Valve (SDKs, header files) whose usage Valve can restrict (AFAIK, logfiles do not fall into the categories of files that can be copyrighted), so they can make you pay. (Take all this with a grain of salt; I'm not Yahn Bernier. A lawyer, I mean.) ~~ Ondra On 22.06.08 17:36 Uhr, ics wrote: > You got some weird sense of humour.
