Copyleft “fanfics” are what we call the entire SCP universe. CC-BY-SA is just like the GPL. Notice it’s not CC-BY-SA-NC (NonCommercial). Labor, even if it’s “mods” or “fanfics” is still labor. What, suddenly your work grew in value because it was based off of a different license agreement? The hard work didn’t change, yet it suddenly legitimately grew in value?
If i ever made a game, im making sure everything is released cc by sa and a FLOSS software license for the source code. Because fuck the mentality that says your work isn’t valuable simply because I didn’t give you a license to “my stuff”
It costs more money to hire software devs to make a custom piece of software that needs to be maintained and fully supported with customer service than it sticking SteamOS on it and providing support and having customer service. Valve did all of that hard work and rnd and paid for it all, hp just needs to pay for an oem license —probably a very good deal for them
You’re probably right that they can put the os on their hardware for free, but I would think they do pay something for the rights to have the “powered by SteamOS” mark. I would bet that valve has some sort of hardware partner criteria to maintain valves image if you use their mark, like their old steam machine program.
