Guidelines for sharing a mod
Here are the guidelines for sharing a mod, mostly directed at those who think a mod without sharing is useless.
1. you cannot use the word "Scratch" to refer to derivative works (except in the phrase "Based on Scratch from the MIT Media Laboratory"),
2. you cannot use the Scratch logo or the official (copyrighted) Scratch cat in derivative works,
3. you cannot implement the ability to upload projects to any MIT Scratch website (currently, http://scratch.mit.edu),
4. copies or derivative works must retain the Scratch copyright notice and license, and
5. you must make the source code for derivative works available.

Re: Guidelines for sharing a mod
Yes, I had this idea when somebody on my Catch! thread thought it was useless because there is no share feature. I tried allowing modshare uploading, but LS97 (to be called Large Scratch 9.7 by me 
) didn't approve my mod.
Because the person didn't know the rule, this thread was made.

Re: Guidelines for sharing a mod
I do think this deserves to be bumped, even when it's on the 1st page. I am aiming this to be my first to get a sticky or ITopic.

Re: Guidelines for sharing a mod
I think this is great! I would like to add that this should be Itopiced, even though it isn't very large.
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

Re: Guidelines for sharing a mod
I don't think it should be iTopic'd for the simple reason that the Scratch Team put a license on the source code page for a reason. Why not just plain link to that when someone is violating its terms?
