This might help you see my stance a bit better.

If you released the cake under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0, like you did when you uploaded the project to the website, someone could clone the cake and add one more candle if they gave you credit.

They did not give me credit. They did not even ask permission.

The autocredit thing is enough credit, and you don't need permission.

For me, it's not. They stole 99% of my project.

1% change is still a change. It is sort of (really) strange (and pointless) to copy an “Is <other user> online?” project without at least changing it to “Is <your username> online?”, but it's technically allowed.

I'm not satisfied. I had code in there that would automatically run when I was away and that I could override at any time, and it was based on my timezone. I seriously doubt the user took me seriously when I told them that I was not happy with their project (I had informed them on their profile).

You can't require people to ask you before remixing. People can do whatever they want with your project.

It may be reportable (as it seems this one was) if there were very minimal changes, but for the most part, it doesn't matter (which sounds a bit harsh) what you think, because you agree that it doesn't matter by sharing it on Scratch.

So… I didn't want them to make minimal changes while still keeping everything else. It's blasphemous for me.

UPDATE:

The user has now apologized and unshared the project.
