3.2 Disable remixing or censor minor remixes

One of the most important ideas of Scratch is the share aspect. Scratch is a website not only for displaying your work, but also for sharing it with others, and by posting your project on the Scratch website you agree to allow others to remix your work. You are not allowed to write “Do not remix this project” in the Notes and Credits of your project; you may get alerted for this, because it discourages remixing. This suggestion extends to the ability to require permission to remix a project, as you have already given permission to others to use your creations by sharing a project on Scratch; for more information, see this post.

A remix of a project is allowed on Scratch, even if the remix only contains minor changes (this includes recolors). However, when you remix a project, you should put in the Notes and Credits what you changed. If you see a project that contains no noticeable changes, please use the Report button on it so the Scratch Team can take a look at it. This suggestion extends to “extremely minor remixes,” such as a remix of a game that gives you 2 points per second instead of 1. As long as the user explains what they changed about the project and gives proper credit, this is okay.

As per the Community Guidelines:

Scratch is essentially making your project fully opensource to the public. By having an option, you are not only un-inspiring others, but people might just not be interested in it.
Unchanged copies can be reported, and as said:
when you share something on Scratch, you are giving permission to all Scratchers to use oyur work in their creations, too.

Stolen projects can be reported, but so can projects that prohibit remixing. And please read scratchcode1_2_3's quote on The Official List Of Rejected Suggestions.
