IANAL but I believe that license only applies to the files not for products created with those files as those don‘t include the CAD files. But you are not allowed to sell derivative CAD models of those CAD models.
Comment on Steam Controller and Puck CAD files now available!
kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 6 days agoIf I’m understanding correctly, it’s a noncommercial variant, so if you use these files to design a custom replacement shell, you can’t sell it, right? Seems understandable, but a bit of a shame.

It’s the second line of the license file. So the license does not automatically grant commercial right but they are addressing straight away that they are open to the idea.
I don’t know in practice how easy it would be to get the right from Valve to commercialize a product derivated from these files.
