Steam OS needs to be on the Public Domain like an Opensource Project..Which it will most likely be..

In addition to that the Hardware should also be opensourced, like how to build the most optimal gaming console to work on Steam OS...

But It will all come down to the gaming pad, how the gaming pad will be designed and how it will integrate with build your own systems

Steam is a DRM platform with a few user features on top. Releasing an open source platform would be as uncharacteristic as suicidal.


Have to think about it like android, FOSS linux base that in most cases ships with a non-FOSS storefront application from its primary contributor.


I don't think game publishers would trust their cash cows to an Android platform either.
