Need Help
Before I introduce myself, I wanted to ask an urgent question. I'm working on a game using and I wanted give the game maker credit, so here's what I did:

I would use the Scratch Cat for the Credits and the normal logo for the Front. Would this be considered a copyright violation or can I keep it there?
Thanks,

Using the Scratch Cat or Scratch Logo is free, I think. They are under a creative commons license, which means you can use them freely.

Besides, since Scratch is an educational site, copyright isn't really a huge problem. If you look, you'll see a good number of projects that contain characters from books/tv shows/movies/ect.
from the copyright policy link (at the bottom of the page):
In assessing whether or not a Scratch user has violated your copyrights, please keep in mind that Scratch is an educational and not-for-profit initiative, seeking to aid children’s learning by providing the tools for them to learn and express themselves using digital technology.
