Scratch

I would say that before hosting someone's games on your web site, you need to get the permission of the person who wrote the game.

I would not like my games showing up on your web site, for example, without giving my permission.

So, could you please remove my Hangman game from your web site?  Thanks!

I can pull it but that request is not consistent with the agreement you made when you posted it on this site, as I understand that agreement.

Creative commons allows for someone else to use it.

It does, but under certain conditions.

Under the Creative Commons License that all SCRATCH projects are under, you may be violating the Attribute portion of the License, which goes as such:

Attribution. You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).

In other words, you have to give credit the proper way the author wants it requested. Considering you didn't ask BoltBait first on how he wishes to be credited, that could be considered grounds for a possible violation. It is also possible that the game owners could argue that you using the projects on your website can appear as their endorsement for your use of the work (although, I'll admit, an argument like this isn't really clear cut and is subject to interpretation).

You are also required to provide the creative commons license for the works (usually by linking to the license webpage).

here are my best games you can choose from http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/45047

Before I add a ton more projects I am working on a php mysql database to make things searchable as my high priority I wanted to throw it out there and see what the reaction was before I went further.

Concerning the license - you are right I am missing the link, and need to get that in there.

As far as referencing the author in the way the author requests. I did take this sites requirement to comment on who for a remix, and based my format on that.  Is there private messaging available through this site.

Considering this is a hobby of mine, I was wanting to avoid having paperwork - and now am concerned I would have to customize the acknowledgments for each game on the site.

Is anyone out there a copyrite lawyer that can shed some light on what I am trying to do.

I have added a M44 page. WIll do a page of holiday themed games next. Working on the logic/code for the search engine. While I appreciate the offer Dav09 - I don't quite see paint fitting in the desktop toy catagory I want to eventually build up.

To get to M44's page you have to click search.

you should check out Fighter Ace
