Valve also gave away HL2 for free on steam, for anyone who didn't have it. What exactly are you demanding above that? To be paid to get it or something?

Allow the Internet Archive to preserve a DRM free version. Forever and irrevocably.

All of Half Life 2 is DRM free on Steam.

Quite a lot of games are, as long as their publisher didn't require DRM.
