Giving away Steam keys from Humble and playing the DRM-free copy - acceptable or not?

Open

Some Humble Bundle games include both Steam keys and DRM-free copy. Now I'm pretty sure the intention is that only one copy at a time will be used, and by the same player. Still, do you think it's acceptable to give the Steam key and use the DRM-free copy, or is it abuse of the license? If the latter, does Humble actually expect people who gift the Steam key to be careful not to play the DRM-free copy unless they buy the game again?

L4+ giveaway to make you happy :-)

Is it acceptable to give away the Steam key and play the DRM-free copy?

No. This would be blatant abuse of the license and must be avoided.
Sort of. It's not strictly legal, but I think it's acceptable.
Yes, it's fine. If they wanted to avoid it, they wouldn't have given the Steam key and DRM-free copy
Just ask Dan Quayle

I don't think most intelligent people care about such things. It's perfectly fine.
