Is the current website open source?

So, I saw the stuff for the source code on GitHub for the new Scratch website (Scratch-WWW). I was just wondering if the current website's code is also open source? I couldn't find an answer when I looked through the terms. (Also, sincerely sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place.)

Part of the current website is open source – the parts that are in scratch-www. As we move more code from the old site (not open source) into scratch-www, more of the website will become open source.

When you have completely switched to scratch-www and are no longer using the old site, will you open source the old site?

Alright, awesome, that's what I needed to know! I'm looking at making a website of my own but have no idea how to implement things like a comment section, for example, so I was trying to find something I could legally base stuff off of.

I'll be checking that out then!

Hmm – not sure about that yet. I'll get back to you on that.
