Remixing Policies?

Are there any policies for remixing? Also, do I have the right to tell people they can't remix? I mean, they are my projects. If so, and I tell them they can't remix, is there a penalty for that? There isn't some hack to disable remixing, is there?

Um, no, but I'm sure they'll add a remix lock in 2.0. :\

Re: Remixing Policies?

I doubt that they will. It goes against the share part of the Scratch motto.

Sooner or Later. Or sooner. Not much, except for a lot. In a way. But it will come no matter what.

See above.

But you could put a sort of watermark on the images, I guess.

I don't get it. Even if scratchers can't remix, they can still SHARE their projects.

Re: Remixing Policies?

You can politely request that people not remix your project, but they aren't forced to comply. If you upload the project to your own website, though, then you can make such a limitation.

^This.

Whenever you upload something to the website, the project is automatically covered under a CC license. This means that an entire project is open for remixing, and it also means that anything in the project - scripts, music, art, games, etc. - can be used by others. No permission is required so long as credit is given where credit is due.

There's no penalty, but usually a notification is sent about how remixing is encouraged.

Adding a remix lock is already listed as a rejected suggestion, so there will be no such thing as a remix lock anytime in the future.

People would just delete the watermark sprite though.

You could watermark it in a program outside of Scratch, so the watermark is part of the image layer and not the text.


Programming is an art...
Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

Ehh, I guess. I wouldn't wanna do that though, because then I would never be able to get the watermark off  hmm

Re: Remixing Policies?

If you save the file from the other program, you could remove it if you wanted to.
