Scratch - FAQ wrote:
Where can I find the source code for Scratch?
The source code for the Scratch programming editor can be found on GitHub. The source code for Scratch 2.0 and Scratch 1.4, are also available on GitHub. For updated information on development projects relating to the Scratch website, please visit our For Developers.

Which, if you ask me, looks an awfully lot like you can use more than just the 1.4 offline editor.

about the completion of the fullness of the Gospel
…to prepare the earth for the return of His glory.”

5.3 says nothing about the 2.0 editor, only that it is subject to the same copyright notice.

Support. Scratch encourages mods:

Advanced Topics Talk about technical aspects, advanced features, or Scratch Modifications (Mods) here.

I don't think they would write that if they don't want mods. I think it would be weird if they don't allow modded projects to be uploaded (if they don't contain any mod-specific blocks)

Signatures are the only place where assets links still work.

It says an unmodified copy of the Scratch editor compiled from the source code described in Section 5.3, which is the Scratch 1.4 editor.

I mean, I think it's obvious that offline editors are allowed. It's common sense.

If not, then there's a few more things that a lot of people may have broken.

3.7 You agree not to post links to any content outside of the Scratch website, if to do so would violate any part of the Terms of Use.
Scratch modifications? Not allowed.
Scratchblocks 3.0? Not allowed.

3.7 is very confusing, only the Scratch Team knows if it means “not to post Scratch links on other sites” or “not to post links to other websites on Scratch”.

I think 3.7 means you aren't allowed to post links to content that violates the Terms of Use.

You know, you could use Mod Share (modshare.futuresight.org) to upload mod projects.

Looks like the ToU hasn't been updated since 1.4. But more to the point, this rule is pointless and would have been even in the days of old. The server-side validation should be strong enough not to allow uploading modded blocks, but even if it wasn't, everyone else's vanilla Scratch clients aren't in any danger of executing them. I vote for removal.

Yes, that's not why the rule exists. IIRC it's so things like “JSON hacking” (which can't be done with the editor, but are still legal so far so the interpreter is concerned) don't confuse people who can't recreate it with the editor (which makes sense, but I don't think completely justified the rule, so I agree it should be removed).
