Maybe this can shed some light. I got it off Filefront:
The EuroGamer says that the Half Life 2 SDK will be here in the 'coming weeks'. That is very good news for all the code monkeys out there. They also say Valve has just finished up some kind of legal tie up having to do with the code being released.
However Ellis' email also mentioned a "legal hang-up that has now been resolved" was the cause of the SDK's extensive hold-up, prompting further speculation that physics gurus Havok may have sued Valve over the infamous source code leak - which included Havok physics code. However Lombardi was quick to deny this, telling GameSpot "The legal hang-up... was simply in reference to us finalising some paperwork involved with the distribution of the code in the SDK."
