Both were a concern at the time, but it looks like the license of the udev rules file has been changed recently to MIT. > If the former, the udev package in SteamOS brewmaster has a patch that > (among other things) does the equivalent of what I suggested, so they are > effectively already doing that in SteamOS (although not in the steam.deb > that is the "upstream" for Debian's steam package). I would have expected Valve to update their upstream package by now. Since they haven't in a very long time, I am fine with adding a patch to the Debian package. Best wishes, Mike
