Hi all, in case of Steam, I do not think that including a copy of the license in a debian copyright file following the machine-readable format constitutes an alteration of the license. First, the original file in the sources is unmodified. Second, indentation and escape of empty lines is not a modification of the license, but a formatting to allow the retreival of the pristine text using dedicated software. For instance, the tool "config-edit" displays license texts after converting them back to plain text.
