What's an Open Source Project?
When coding a project in the greater community of software developers, open source refers to coding something that anyone has free access to, like Scratch projects. This means you can of course grab a copy of our open source repository and build with it however you'd like to!

Open source repositories can be collaborative though, and usually have a small group of people who spend a lot of time working on them and maintaining them. While each one is worked on collaboratively by a small group of people – the Scratch Team – we still highly encourage, and really want contributions to them from the community.

At Scratch, we have a couple of different open source repositories. While the Scratch Team are the only people who can create new features for the repositories at this point, we do accept bug fixes and bug reports from the community.
