I was also confused, but I think their thesis statement is pretty enlightening:

> If we got nuked tomorrow, and Steam went down, anyone could have CSGO up and running in the Bunker LAN by next week. Years later when us smoothskins are rockin’ Power9 Rigs, we would also have the ability to recompile and port the game.

The lip service to "Open Source" and white-knighting is a little harsh, but I think this was made with honest intention. Someone wanted to make a thing and offer it to others in the spirit of open collaboration. Their wording is wrong, but their heart is in the right place.

Valve has been relatively permissive regarding open-sourcing and liberally licensing some of its properties under the right conditions. See its push for SteamOS and allowing Black Mesa to be sold for profit. However, it might have been a good idea to contact them about this before hosting modified stolen property, even if it was with good intentions. I've got a feeling that this repo won't last too long.

It appears the repo in question has been available for 3 years.

I've never come across it before this post was made. It's only a matter if it catches on or not, just like how tornado cash was there for a long time, until it wasn't anymore
