It's either slave labor or there is SOME form of for profit company is involved somewhere in the chain. Those are basically your two options.

Even purely free work given willingly in someone's free time is still supported by proxy of some form of corporate entity. No one lives for free.

All that matters is the license. If you care any more beyond that your either stupid or dealing with active Nazis. And I don't see any Nazis in valve so...
