Someone pinged me and asked me to chime in on this, so here's my honest opinion.
The Liberated Pixel Cup raised just over $10k, and it had the support of the Creative Commons and the Free Software Foundation, along with a lot of good press. Consequently, I don't think it's realistic to raise $9000 for this, and it's not something I really want to spearhead (plus, when you only get a fraction of what you wanted to raise, things get complicated).
If someone else decides to take charge of raising the money, I'd be happy to link to it on the OGA blog.
On the other hand, everyone has the rights to sell GPLed software, so I don't see where that's a problem. THe question is whether there would be something in Steam's license that would conflict with the requirements of the GPL.
I'll change the form so that the upload is no longer a required field. If you submit a repository link instead of an archive, please give the revision ID of your official submission.
One thing you might want to try is just selecting the file and submitting the form without hitting upload. There won't be a progress bar that way, but if you're getting an AJAX error, that might fix it.
If all else fails, create an entry with a dummy file (something small, like an image), upload the file somewhere else, and I'll add the file to the entry for you.

Thanks. For some reason, firefox doesn't highlight misspellings in the rich text widget.
I've spoken with Jetrel and he says his contributions are CC0, so his part of the licensing is taken care of.
Are all the licenses you selected compatible with the MIT license?
Working on it. I'll update when it's fixed.
Is the "correct" version in your code repository with a date that's before the end of the contest?
Don't worry about multiple submissions. We'll count the most recent one and disregard the rest. :)

A couple of questions:

Sorry for the trouble.
