Well when you look back there was a hl2 source code leak. An interesting interview you find there:
basically hl 2 was still a success. Not sure about if they want that somebody else could modify the client to run without steam (legally). Sure basically steam is fully broken if you dont want to play online games but still i doubt that they want to show everything. it would be a nice move however. Problematic could be 3rd party code parts, which are usually no problem for id software as they write basically everything on their own.
But maybe they could give away a free game like they did when the mac client was released. And if possible support debian too not only ubuntu...
