Steam Greenlight is only for games that you have created yourself or are legally authorized to represent.
If you are considering posting someone elses’ game as a joke, don’t. Go suggest it in the discussions or contact the original developer and suggest that they post their game on Steam Greenlight themselves.
Please read the FAQ before posting to Steam Greenlight.
From the Greenlight FAQ:
I know of a game that should be here. What do I do? Go contact the game developer and suggest that they submit their game here for consideration.
So, to sum it up: -If you do not want your game on Steam, don't submit it. -If it's not a game you made, don't submit it. -If you make a free game that you do want on Steam then by all means, submit it!
There's no requirement that a game must cost money to be put on Steam, see their Free section.
And no, you can't submit GPL games that someone else made unless you are a legal representative of the developer/license holder.
If you do not intend to, or do not have the rights to, sell your game on Steam you are not allowed to put it up on Greenlight.
"Greenlight is not meant as an advertisement service" -Steam
Keep in mind that an awful lot of people are complete idiots and don't understand what it means when they check "I have the rights to sell this game".
So right now Greenlight is full of games submitted by people who have no rights to said game, because people think it's some kind of "I want this game on steam, so I'll upload it! Lol!11one"
Any decent IRC client will let you set those same highlights, and much more.
I was replying to bart regarding GPL.
My previous posts should've answered your question, I hope.
Only as long as you don't missrepresent the software as being your creation. Which you would be doing by putting it on Greenlight.
Really, why are people so hell-bent on gaming the system? If you didn't make it, don't put it up there, contact the author instead!

I'm interessted in at least knowing the price for these assets.
I can see plenty use for them.
Diablo 3 removed the feature because it's solved by that games infinite free Town Portal.
Same issue. Thought I had pinpointed it to archives containing files with the same name (in different folders)
Doesnt seem like that's it though.
For the record I too get it when trying to submit a .zip with a .jpg preview. Not sure the preview matters.
My game and its server are coded in FreeBASIC, a modern BASIC dialect.
The server makes heavy use of CUDA for GPGPU parallel tasks to handle the game universe.
Should all be fixed now, thanks to Botanic!
