Yet another license syndrom.
The Scratch source code license allows you to distribute derivative works based
on the Scratch source code for non-commercial uses subject to the following
restrictions:
• you cannot use the word "Scratch" to refer to derivative works
(except in the phrase "Based on Scratch from the MIT Media Laboratory"),
• you cannot use the Scratch logo or the official (copyrighted) Scratch
cat in derivative works,
• you cannot implement the ability to upload projects to any MIT
Scratch website (currently, http://scratch.mit.edu),
• copies or derivative works must retain the Scratch copyright notice
and license, and
• you must make the source code for derivative works available.
This is just a summary; the full license is in the file "license.txt" included
in the source code download package.
The purpose of these restrictions is to avoid confusion in the Scratch user
community between the official version of Scratch (supported by the Lifelong
Kindergarten group) and experimental variations. We are happy the share our
source code, but we want to protect the Scratch brand and our user community.
We hope you will appreciate the reasons for these restrictions.
I do not want to see code from scratch in Pharo. Bernat do you have the
license.txt somewhere?
