The preorder Steam key falls under the standard Steam rules, though it's obviously impossible to split unless you exploit Steam's offline mode (which might be against Valve's terms of service).
Nothing to do with the forum or its rules. There is a contract of sale at play here.

It's a single activation for an individual, hence a single code. I think you may be on shaky legal ground with respect to giving it away to a friend. There is a clear difference IMO between having the game active on two computers in your household and allowing a "friend" in a different location use a code purchased by you and provided for your use.
