After v4.3, GES will be open sourced for posterity.

Currently some small elements of GE:S are open source.

L4D2 uses much new than 2007...its right behind Portal 2 and CS:GO version of the engine...

When i played hl2 in windows last time i noticed source 2009 somewhere in it.
on another note for the fun of it i manually extracted the GE:S installer files to the source mods file in linux then restarted steam and the same stuff shows up like in windows but when you click play it does nothing
soupcan:
A better question would be, assuming Valve ever makes Source SDK Base 2007 available under Linux, would you ever consider making a working Linux client?
Calystos:
Considering how much Valve are pushing more an more towards Linux and have even spoken out against things like Windows 8 stating they hate it, lol, and that various things like HL2, TF2, L4D (currently in beta), CS:S, and so on are being pushed to Linux now I think we'll be seeing the SDK's getting some much needed attention towards Linux lovers too hopefully.
I for one would totally love a GoldenEye: Source native Linux Client, am sick of having to play stuff via wine, hehe. And if after v4.3 goes opensource, hopefully that may make more developers help out (I'd certainly look at the code an try to help whenever I can, but my plates very full a lot of the time unfortunately with many other projects).
