Game is WIRED TOKYO 2007, and Valve reviewers had though he’d been infringing IP rights due to mentioning other titles, though all are his. So he made a document where he acts as both licensor and receiver of the license for the mentioned IPs and posted the document on Twitter after being approved. #SYAC

Now, my opinion as not a lawyer but someone interested in topics that overlap with these legalese? The document is probably void, but specially due to making it public, it could help to expose an endemic issue.
