It is probably the stupid PR guys that messed it up after the 2003 E3. If you watched that presentation, they say things like "The source allows us to....". Obviously that makes sense to programmers, but the people that are giving the presentations and discussing it afterwards are clueless, and thought that source wasn't just a noun refering to the code in which the engine was written with, but was actually the direct name of the engine. Personally, it has been driving me insane ever since people started refering to the engine as source.
If you swipe something from a store, then come back to complain when it breaks, you would get laughed at.
So what makes it much more different from pirating software and then wanting the company to fix it for you when its broken, even if it is an easy solution that already exists?
