That was actually a gross misunderstanding on my part (I do admit being wrong WHEN I'm wrong). There's plenty of FLOSS on Desura, not Steam. Though, it doesn't appear that there's any reason for that, other than FLOSS-supporting folk generally believe Steam to be pure evil and won't distribute that way. Though, many of the games on Steam are available as stand-alone DRM-free packages. People just prefer generally to use the DRM'd versions for convenience (and people DO like convenience at almost any cost).
