just as a side note to this, ive been looking into the license and its legal ramifications.

One of the things ive learned (software licensing isnt really my area of expertise, though I am an attorney) is that Steem's EULA is completely nugatory in the EU. Their highest court (the EU court of justice) struck down attempts to enforce copyuright/licensing schemes. Somewhat ironically, the case where they did so involved Steam (with an a).

So at the very least, the restrictions found in the license aren't binding at all to anyone with access to a European VPS.
