You could just strip out all mentions of the 3rd party component on the codebase. Let the community figure out how to plug in a replacement.

Far more likely the community kicks up a huge stink about how Valve released a crippled engine.

Like this exact thread where they release the game and the top comment is "but the engine isn't available".

This is just concern trolling now. Game source code releases are often not 100% complete due to parts that coulen't be released.
