Hi Allison, Miry - We've made some changes to page that describes the source code on our site, and also made a minor update to a license file in the source package, all based on suggestions from Mako Hill and friends from the free software community.
http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Source_Code I hope we can alleviate any concerns folks at Debian might have about making Scratch available in the Debian repositories. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns. -Amos On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 11:09 PM, Amos Blanton <a...@scratch.mit.edu> wrote: > On 03/28/2012 10:35 PM, Allison Randal wrote: > >> Double-check on the DFSG and the Scratch trademark policy.
