Is It LEGAL To Sell A Scratch Game?
I want to know if it is even LEGAL to sell a Scratch game. Cause, it's not meant as a professional tool. It's just meant to as an educational tool. If you know, please tell me.

Would it be legal to burn Scratch games onto discs and then have them sold in stores?

It's not legal to sell Scratch projects according to the Scratch Terms Of Service.

Limited License. Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with these Terms, we grant you, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to: (a) install and use one object code copy of any downloadable software (including mobile applications) offered by us associated with the Service; and (b) access and use the Service, in each case other than Scratch Materials, Scratch Team Marks, and Support Materials, which are licensed solely as specified in Section 7.
License Restrictions. Except and solely to the extent such a restriction is impermissible under applicable law or as expressly permitted under these Terms, you may not: (a) reproduce, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or create derivative works of the Service; (b) make modifications to the Service; or © interfere with or circumvent any feature of the Service, including any security or access control mechanism.

The part that says that Scratch is for non-commercial use alone proves that it's illegal, and thus wrong, to sell Scratch projects.

It's not legal to sell Scratch projects according to the Scratch Terms Of Service.Incorrect, this is taken out of context, it is talking about the source code of Scratch itself. Your projects are yours and you are free to sell as long as it does not have copyrighted material like Scratch Cat without permission. Other that that it's yours. You also don't have to unshare it from Scratch, but obviously that's what you would want to do when selling it. So go ahead and sell it if you wish, or whatever you want really.

I don’t really know, but I would say if you want to sell it, don’t have it shared on the scratch website and don’t use the official scratch compiler in your sold version. I don’t really know much about this kind of stuff though.

No, I'm right. Let's not agrue, though. Let's just agree to disagree. Also, Portal 1 is better than Portal 2, but Portal 2 is still pretty awesome, especially since it's way more lore-filled than Portal 1. Also, since the best Scratchers are adults, wouldn't selling Scratch games turn Scratch into a warzone of attention hogging? I think it would.
