yup, though since they will require administrative permissions, I don't think valve will go around making you install it unless you play the specific game. Also I don't really understand how GPLv2 and kernel modules work, but I wonder if AntiCheats would be forced to open source themselves? Probably not honestly.

Edit: If anyone wanna read Linus's thoughts on it [1]. TL;DR It's a legal gray area.
