I need some good ol' legal help. :P

I know this is a double topic, post, whatever; but the other one was closed and I still have a question.

Every year our town/city/suburb... You know what I mean. Anyway, our little group has a sale where kids can sell stuff. I want to sell scratch projects. The only way I know of is to post it online just long enough copy the html code thing. Then I pop it into a website I already made. Then I delete the project. I put the link on a disk and sell it. Would this be okay? I would prefer to have someone from the scratch team answer, but I'll consider anyone if they have decent evidence. Thanks!

The Scratch Team has said before that they are perfectly OK with people selling their projects outside of Scratch, so this is not a problem legally (especially since at the time of purchase/sale the project will have been taken offline).

However, it would make more sense to never upload the project in the first place. Using a free program like Scratch2Exe will pack your project into a stand-alone application for Windows, and I believe BYOB has a similar feature for Mac. Why don't you give those a try?

Thanks! That's really helpful.

Could this be closed?
