The actual udev rules in steam-devices are MIT/X11-licensed, but they're
part of the larger steam source package, which is non-free.
For both this package and steam-devices, it's probably a good long-term
goal for the package to go away entirely, or at least shrink a *lot*, as
rules that are uncontroversial get upstreamed into udev (systemd).

Recent versions of steam-devices do use uaccess. (Older versions didn't.)
